Our Vision
To redefine early childhood education by creating a place where learning, community, and culture flourish through the work of inspired educators
Core Values of Our School
Our core value is to academically challenge children and encourage them to explore and grow while discovering and developing new interests and talents. Children develop quickly between birth and age six; a child’s experience during these early years has a major impact on their future learning abilities.

Our Facility
Ivy Primary Prep is a brand new space equipped with an intricate ventilation system that is designed to cycle in fresh air from the outside. Each student has their own work space to respect and minimize physical interaction amongst students.
Health and Safety
To ensure the safety of our students and faculty, our classrooms are designed with their own exit doors. Students are dropped off and picked up directly to and from their classrooms and hence have minimal to no interaction with students from other classrooms. Our facility and its contents will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected at the end of each day.
Classroom Size
Each class at Ivy Primary Prep is intentionally capped at 10 students, allowing our teachers to create an academically challenging, highly personalized learning experience. With such small groups, students receive consistent one-on-one attention, stronger guidance during lessons, and meaningful opportunities to engage, ask questions, and build confidence—ensuring every child is truly seen and supported each day.
Student Development
At Ivy Primary Prep we have taken an innovative approach to focus on development of the whole student by emphasizing a curriculum that includes physical, social, and emotional components.
Curriculum
Our IVY Path is our proprietary curriculum that was developed with academics as its primary focus. Our Curriculum is a hybrid of Montessori, HighScope and Singapore Math. Our IVY Path ensures that a high-quality learning experience is tailored to each child’s learning abilities.
Individualized Learning
Our teachers design lesson plans based on an interactive, workshop-style learning philosophy that keeps students actively engaged throughout the day. This approach ensures that our lessons remain dynamic, hands-on, and continuously aligned with each child’s evolving learning needs and abilities.
