About Ivybrook Academy - Castle Rock
Ivybrook Academy Castle Rock is a half-day preschool on Park Street, run by a local owner as part of the Ivybrook network that former first-grade teacher Jennifer McWilliams founded. We serve children from about 18 months through kindergarten age, and our approach blends Reggio Emilia and Montessori practice with ongoing individual assessment.
Classes follow age and readiness: a Toddler class for 18 months to 2 years, separate groups for 2-year-olds and 3-year-olds, and Prekindergarten and Transitional Kindergarten for 4- and 5-year-olds. Children work in small and large groups on early literacy, math, science, social studies, art and social-emotional skills, with music, movement and cultural exploration built in.
We treat the classroom as a third teacher, so rooms use natural light, calm colors and natural materials rather than busy decor. We are a preschool, not a daycare, and the shorter day is deliberate. The campus is peanut and tree nut free, we provide snacks such as fruit, crackers and cheese on a weekly schedule, and entry uses keycard access. Uniforms are not required, a summer camp runs each year, and registration for the next year usually opens in February.
