Top 10 Reasons You'll Love Us
Check Out Our Premier Program!
#1: We’re a Family!
We have all heard the saying "it takes a village to raise a child". I want us all to be a part of that village! Look for family outings and events throughout the school year that we can all participate together..
#2: We Care About You!
Ivy Lane takes pride in having open communication that helps you feel wanted, needed, and appreciated. Our warm, at-home atmosphere sets the standard for how you’ll feel treated as we quickly address your questions and concerns. Look forward to a meet and greet night in the Fall!
#3: Your Child will Make Close Friends!
Our small classes of 6 to 8 children allows your child to be comfortable and grow valuable friendships with the other preschoolers and teacher. Because conflict-resolution skills are super vital to learn at this age, we help your child work through their problems with other children. Pretty soon they’re using the same strategies and words we’ve taught them, all by themselves!
#4: Your child will be more than ready for Kinder!
Your child will receive individualized instruction through our thorough assessments and curriculum. We will guide your child in the areas they need to improve, and challenge them when they’re ready for more. Our balance of teacher-directed and child-initiated hands-on activities follows the NAEYC guidelines to strengthen your whole child’s development: Social, Emotional, Cognitive, Language, and Physical.
#5: We keep your child healthy & safe!
Teaching children is a huge responsibility, and we take that responsibility seriously! Our distinct policies and procedures regarding health and safety help to keep your child in a safe, clean environment. We’re constantly cleaning, washing hands, and monitoring all activities to prevent any accidents.
#6: Your child will love our preschool!
I'll help your child come out of his/her shell, gain self confidence, and grow in all areas of development. I'm excited to help your child grow and learn!
#7: Our Field Trips and Events!
To extend our learning we plan to go on field trips each year, and you get to join your child on them. We’ll also celebrate special occasions with parties for Fall/Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and your child’s birthday!
#8: Your child gets a shirt and portfolio!
Each year, your child will receive a uniform/t-shirt for that school year to wear on school/dress-down days. We also save some of your child’s artwork for a special portfolio you get at the promotion party..
#9: We help you preserve memories!
We offer you the opportunity to enrich your preschool experience by enjoying book orders, school pictures, class pictures, graduation pictures, cap ‘n gown pictures, and an end-of-the-year graduation video.

We will celebrate our students who are headed to Kindergarten, it will be a night to remember! Bring your family to our yearly promotion party where we celebrate your child's accomplishments in a big way!

We have a 10-month school year (Aug.-May). If we have spots available, you can enroll mid-year. Please call or email us to see if we have any spots available.
How old does my child need to be to attend?
Preschool classes are for children who are ages 3-5 (and "independent almost-3-year-olds") by Sep. 30th.
Does my child have to be potty trained?
Yes. If you have any questions about whether or not your child is ready, feel free to give us a call. We even have a “How To Potty Train” your child handout we can give you. It’s helped many preschool moms quickly potty train their kids. We’re here to help!
What is your teaching philosophy?
We follow a “whole child” philosophy where we work with you to improve your child’s Social, Emotional, Cognitive, Language, and Physical skills. Our curriculum is based on the NAEYC guidelines and features a balance of teacher-directed and child-initiated hands-on activities to accomplish these goals. We also incorporate Fundamentals Preschool Curriculum and IXL Reading and Literacy Curriculum and Assessments. Your child will learn to socialize, make friends, develop social and emotional skills, and be more than ready for Kindergarten!
Are there additional fees during the year?
Your registration fee covers all your child’s supplies and reserves a spot in our program. Uniforms and possible field trips will be the only additional fees parents will need to consider during the school year.
What if my child has food restrictions?
No worries. Several of our students have food intolerances or severe allergies. We ask these families to bring in their own snacks, and we create nut-free classrooms any time a child’s allergy is severe enough to require an epi pen.
Is the registration fee refundable?
No.
How many students do you have per class?
We have the smallest class sizes in town so your child gets lots of 1-on-1 time. We will have no more than 8 students per class.
