From SSN Preschool
to Ivy Crest
Ivy Crest is the natural evolution of SSN Preschool — a beloved institution that has nurtured young learners in Visakhapatnam for over five years, supporting the early journeys of more than 300 children.
Built on a strong legacy of trust, care, and early childhood excellence, Ivy Crest expands learning up to Grade 3 in a thoughtfully designed international-standard campus — the first of its kind in our neighbourhood.
More than a school, Ivy Crest is a carefully curated learning ecosystem where children are nurtured intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically. We believe education should help children discover who they are, not force them into who they should be.
SSN Preschool Founded
A trusted preschool serving the Visakhapatnam community with warmth, play, and early childhood excellence.

Ivy Crest Is Born
Expanding to an international-standard campus with programs from Playgroup through Grade 3 — our biggest chapter yet.
The Ivy Crest
Approach
Six foundational principles guide every classroom, every activity, and every interaction at Ivy Crest.
Learning Through Experience
Children learn by doing, exploring, and questioning. Every lesson is crafted as a hands-on adventure that connects to the real world.
Emotional Safety First
A child who feels secure becomes confident to learn. Our classrooms are warm spaces where children feel comfortable asking questions and trying new things.
Growth Without Pressure
Every child progresses at their own pace. We celebrate small milestones with the same enthusiasm as big achievements.
Movement & Play
Physical activity supports focus and emotional balance. Play is not a break from learning — at Ivy Crest, play is learning itself.
Guided Discovery
Teachers guide children to discover answers rather than simply receive them — nurturing independent thinkers and problem-solvers from day one.
Balanced Development
Intellectual, emotional, social, and physical growth — nurtured together, always. The whole child is our whole concern.
