Our purpose at Ivy Hedge is to create a warm and loving atmosphere for little children.
We realize these early years are the most crucial in the life of a child.
Their ability to absorb is at its peak and their curiosity insatiable.
During this period the child's whole intellectual and emotional being is being established.
We have selected the best materials which enable the child to satisfy his or her intellectual curiosity and needs.
At the same time we nurture them with kind and loving attention toward how they feel, what they think, and giving them much freedom to express themselves.
Music, Art , Spanish, Computers, and Yoga are also an integral part of our program.
Without pressure our little ones are exposed to beginning reading, math, and language development skills.
The program is presented in such a way that the children experience much success and they love it.
Our goal is to assist all children to realize their own wonderful uniqueness and to respect that quality in all living things.
