 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Edit: a year later (2024), 3 total years at blue Ivey now. I know some people like to see reviews that aren’t super old. My daughter is now in public school and has switched to the before/after school program at blue Ivey. Getting her into public school was an absolute nightmare and the staff at blue Ivey helped us with so many things. They even helped her get settled on her first day. The staff saved us during one of the most stressful experiences we’ve had to endure so far and I cannot thank them enough. She absolutely loves going to blue Ivey and now she loves her school that they helped us navigate her into. She talks nonstop about how great her teachers are and her friends and she is obsessed with being able to ride in the van to and from school. Blue Ivey has been worth every penny. If you’re considering this school for your child and you’re a nervous parent like me, I can assure you that I trust these people as much as I trust my own family with my daughter. They love her like she’s their own and I appreciate them so very much.

My 5 year old daughter has been at Blue Ivey for two years give or take. I am very much a nervous parent and the thought of trusting anyone with my child scared me to death. After two years, I trust this school and her teachers as much as I trust her own father. They have been incredible to her and she loves going to school. She has some level of neurodiversity (adhd or autism, unsure of which) and struggles with sensory issues. They have accommodated her and they make sure she is comfortable. They also taught her how to potty train, something we have struggled with greatly at home. I cannot thank the teachers enough for how much they’ve done for her.

My only mild complaint is that they’ve used religious based practices, like saying grace and such. Although they’ve told us that she is never forced into doing such things, she’s 5 and she will repeat what is going on around her. We aren’t a religious family and I have never wanted to force any religion on my child. I want her to make that choice for herself when she is capable of understanding. I can’t deduct any stars from my rating for this because everything else outweighs this minor thing but I would love it if the teachers could be a little more diverse. Not everyone is Christian or catholic. There’s so many religions out there and I feel like my daughter isn’t the only child from a non Christian/catholic/Abrahamic religion family.
Otherwise, she’s had a very amazing experience and I plan to keep her in this school as long as she is capable.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son with autism came here half-days and the other half were spent at public school receiving services. He was struggling in so many areas, but this was the PERFECT place for him. So organized and just what he needed to help him progress. I am so thankful we were directed to Blue Ivey!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our 3-year-old son has been attending Blue Ivey since he was 2-years-old. Previous to Blue Ivey, he has attended a total of three other daycare programs since the age of 7-weeks-old. We were initially happy with his care at these other daycares, but we would become hesitant once he transitioned on to the next class.  As he got older, we wanted to make sure that he received the best learning opportunity, especially at the age between 2 and 3. This time is crucial, so as soon as we enrolled him into Blue Ivey, my husband and I have been very impressed. He loves going to "school" and because he is now in preschool 3 we do refer to Blue Ivey as his school. I love his first 2 teachers that teach the toddler classroom. My son adores his preschool 2 teacher and now that he is in preschool 3, we hope that he will like his teacher just the same. We really like how they have gotten my son to enjoy reading. Sometimes he prefers to read a book or his Highlights magazine over playing with his toys. He knows how to count in Spanish and he knows his colors in Spanish. He knows how to count to 30 and is getting there with his alphabets. They even teach the kids to start writing their names.  I am impressed by how the front desk personnel and teachers know ALL of the student's names. They are very professional and friendly. Our son loves music class which is offered every Friday and he brings home art work and creative activities every week. I highly recommend Blue Ivey.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This school is simply amazing, both my children have attended Blue Ivey school since they were 2 years old.  It's not simply a day care, they really learn things.  My younger daughter always has wonderful things to say about her teachers and the staff at the school.   My older child is now in 1st grade and in a magnet school, all thanks to Blue Ivey's Kindergarten program.  The 1st grade curriculum in the magnet school's program are subjects that have already been covered in Blue Ivey's Kindergarten program.
The school is always clean and classrooms are large and spacious.  The school offers several additional educational programs that are wonderful, including dance, computer class, stretch & grow, swimming, and Spanish.  This is a great help for busy parents who work full time jobs.  They do not have to take their children for extra activities, as Blue Ivey provides everything. I would highly recommend anyone and all my friends to visit Blue Ivey school and let your child have a great experience in learning at Blue Ivey School.
