A Learning Path as Unique as Your Child
By building on each child's natural strengths and abilities, our curriculum helps to create confident, engaged learners.
An Education That Matches How Your Child Learns Best
At Ivy Kids, we believe learning should reflect the way your child naturally understands the world. That’s why our curriculum is grounded in the Multiple Intelligences Theory developed by Dr. Howard Gardner of Harvard University.
Through teacher training and real classroom experience, we've brought this approach to life in our MultiPrep® curriculum—making learning more engaging, meaningful, and confidence-building for every child.
How It Works
An Approach that Adapts
MultiPrep® taps into your child’s natural strengths—whether visual, kinesthetic, musical, or verbal—to deepen understanding and build lasting confidence.
Whole-Child Development
Learning is strongest when it includes emotional well-being, nutrition, and character alongside academics.
Kindergarten Readiness
Our curriculum builds early skills in literacy, math, science, and social studies through play-based, purposeful experiences.
"Education isn't about fitting children into a single model—it's about nurturing their natural strengths. When we honor how each child connects with the world, a confident, engaged learner emerges."
Dr. Emily Lian, Director of Curriculum

Multiprep: A Holistic Approach
A Comprehensive Approach to Learning
Our approach uses varied teaching methods throughout the day, including art, music, movement, and language activities to help children connect with learning in different ways.
Building Character That Lasts
Our World Changers® program builds strong character traits for life. Each month, children focus on a value like kindness, respect, or responsibility—brought to life through stories, play, and classroom conversations.
Social and Emotional Growth
Our trauma-informed, brain-based approach helps children name their feelings, build empathy, and develop self-awareness through daily emotional check-ins and play-based techniques.
Food That Fuels Bright Minds
BrainBites® meals feature fresh produce, whole grains, and lean proteins—with no artificial dyes. Children explore nutritious choices through taste, stories, and mindful eating.
