THE IVY APPROACH
Built on research.
Run with warmth.
The Ivy brings the art and science of childhood together through experienced leadership, skilled educators and warm, attentive care. Drawing on more than 12 years of experience in early education and expertise from the Harvard community, our programme pairs the Massachusetts Early Learning Standards with Reggio-inspired inquiry, play and creative exploration.
Our educators get to know each child: their interests, how they learn and the reassurance they need. Through thoughtful teaching, secure relationships and close partnerships with families, they nurture confidence, independence and curiosity.
And yes, our environments are extremely beautiful, too.
