About
Ivy Prep Early Learning Academy

Ivy Prep is a child care provider which promotes the idea that each child is their own unique individual with their own personalized and preferred methods of learning. So, our instructors, classrooms, and curriculums all work together to encourage natural learning behaviors. We also believe that compassionate care can encourage new students to develop a love for learning which can only be established in these early years. So, we’re dedicated to providing a safe atmosphere which is focused on both individualized and compassionate child care!

Each of our programs is designed specifically to meet the needs of each age group of young children. The human brain does much of its developing in the earliest years. So, we know that when we identify these different stages of growth and incorporate curriculum which is focused on the development of a specific age, our students have a better chance at retaining what they’ve learned. Each of our programs offers a different, innovative curriculum which is designed to inspire every child to identify and shape their own methods of learning.

Michele Pompeo-Gatens – Staten Island
I joined the Ivy Prep family five years ago as an assistant teacher and now I’ve become the director. I absolutely love being a part of Ivy Prep. I began my teaching career at the College of Staten Island and completed my bachelor’s degree. I then went to further my education at Touro College where I received a dual Master’s degree, as well as, a dual teaching certificate by New York State for Education and Special Education. I joined the Department of Education in 2015 to begin student teaching. In January, 2016 I became a substitute teacher. When the opportunity presented itself to become the director here at Ivy Prep I couldn’t come back fast enough! Since I was young, I’ve always had a passion for children and wanted to help them learn. Here at Ivy Prep, I have had the opportunity to help and watch children grow and learn every day, and also have been able to begin to form and maintain a personal relationship with each child, and their families too. I look forward to continuing my career here at Ivy Prep.
