Join FemCity Roanoke for our monthly Coffee Connection hosted by Sara Millehan at Ivybrook Academy. This event is complimentary for members and their guests. Light refreshments will be served. Please register in advance so our host can plan accordingly.

Everything we do at Ivybrook is rooted in authentic values, creating a natural alignment for anyone who values vibrant community, intentional growth, and purposeful connection. As the Owner and Director of Admissions, and someone raised right here in the Roanoke Valley, my passion for this work is deeply personal. Having grown up in this area, my goal is to support local young families by providing a warm, intentional space where children are supported to become thoughtful, resilient citizens of an ever-changing world. It is a place for parents to find their true tribe and a home where they feel genuinely seen and supported. Managing our campus operations and guiding families through their early childhood journey allows me to invest directly back into the neighborhood that shaped me.

We bring these values to life at Ivybrook Academy Roanoke, a premier private half-day preschool that thoughtfully integrates Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Conscious Discipline frameworks. Founded on the core belief that young children thrive when given a gentle, child-led foundation, our campus offers a calm, non-overstimulating environment where students are honored as capable little learners. Rather than simply preparing children for school, our focus is on nurturing the whole child, fostering their natural curiosity, emotional regulation, and confidence.
