Discovering the World Around Them
In addition to our rigorous academic curriculum, our Kindergarten program incorporates Science and Social Studies to meet state standards. These lessons are hands-on and expose students to a wide range of topics, building their background knowledge and understanding. Every week, you will receive updates on the exciting topics and explorations happening in these areas.
We are grateful for the ongoing interest in our Private Kindergarten at Ivybrook. What initially began as a response to our community's need for in-person learning has evolved into a thriving program that enhances our schools.
Math & the Montessori Approach
In our math small groups, we embrace the Montessori approach. Each of our classrooms is equipped with diverse Montessori materials that promote independent thinking and critical skills. The Montessori approach to math is highly effective because it engages children's senses through various materials, fostering learning across multiple intelligences and domains. We assess and teach mathematical awareness across several foundational categories. Our students participate in small group lessons focusing on numerical awareness, measurement and data, geometry, patterning, as well as advanced skills such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
