The Ivy League Child Development

The Ivy League Child Development Center’s Curriculum

Children’s joy and happiness are a big part of their learning. At The Ivy League, we encourage them to have fun as a part of their education, with child-led activities which are adapted to their abilities and interests.

The Investigator Club Curriculum builds upon children’s natural curiosity about the world and their place in it. “Purposeful inquiry” awakens the scientist and explorer in every child. Children learn to use their senses, ask questions, and find answers in a supportive, print-rich environment.

STEAM Activities

Through investigation and hands-on projects, children learn to think like scientists, construct mathematical concepts, appreciate fine art and music, use simple tools and machines, invent, and create.

Language and Literacy

We develop young readers by fostering imagination and a love of books and storytelling. Through quality interactions with peers and adults, children build a strong foundation for literacy, communication, vocabulary development, writing, and verbal problem solving.

Social and Emotional Development

Stories, characters, and play-based activities build bridges to the real world and inspire children to talk about and practice social and emotional skills, such as empathy and kindness, sharing, taking turns, and self-regulation.

Physical Development

Every InvestiGator Club day is filled with active indoor and outdoor play. We know that physical activity is not only important for good health but also for engaged, mindful learning.
