Research & Advisory
The Ivy
Early Childhood
Early Preschool (Infants & Toddlers) (45 days -1.5 yrs)
Responsive relationships and individual rhythms come first. Educators follow each baby’s feeding, sleep and care needs while creating unhurried opportunities for movement, sensory exploration, language and connection.
Junior Preschool (18-24 mo)
Children build language, independence and confidence through predictable routines, open-ended play, movement, stories, music and close relationships with familiar educators.
Upper Preschool (2-3 yrs) & Pre-K ( 3-4 yrs)
The Ivy’s Upper Preschool and Pre-K program builds children’s confidence, independence, and curiosity through hands-on inquiry, early literacy, numeracy, creative expression, and social-emotional learning. Children begin to deepen their communication skills, strengthen friendships, and engage in more purposeful projects that prepare them for the structure and expectations of Kindergarten.
Kindergarten 1 & Kindergarten 2 ( 4-6 yrs)
The Ivy’s KG program focuses on refining skills across all developmental domains and milestones in preparation for school and beyond. Children leaving the program will be prepared socially and academically for their next educational stage.
