Curriculum and Development

MultiPrep is an engaging, researched-based curriculum developed by Ivy Kids® Early Learning Center. Our multiple intelligence-based curriculum is inspired by the work of Dr. Howard Gardner; we encourage well-roundedness and promote academic excellence through our active learning methodology.

At Ivy Kids, we believe in incorporating the best thinking of early learning methodologies to complement our multiple intelligence-based curriculum. For example, we have incorporated elements from Montessori at all age groups such as teaching life skills, differentiating instruction based on skill levels and organic observations for assessing children’s progress.
