Proprietary Rotations and Enrichments
A Learning Experience Like No Other
At Lambs & Ivy, our days are filled with energy, discovery, and purposeful learning. We guide children through a dynamic rotation of subjects, carefully paced to match their natural rhythms—encouraging curiosity, sparking joy, and making every moment count. Our evolving curriculum ensures that each child is engaged, inspired, and empowered to explore their world in new and exciting ways.
Here’s how we make learning an unforgettable adventure:
🌟 Music & Movement – Children develop rhythm, coordination, and a love for music through interactive lessons, instrument exploration, and movement activities that boost confidence and self-expression.
🎨 Creative Arts – From painting and sculpture to storytelling and drama, our art program allows children to express themselves while developing fine motor skills, problem-solving abilities, and creative thinking.
🌱 Gardening & Nature Exploration – Hands-on gardening teaches responsibility and patience while fostering an appreciation for nature. Kids will plant, nurture, and harvest their own mini gardens, learning about sustainability and healthy eating along the way.
🗣️ Spanish & Sign Language – Early exposure to new languages strengthens cognitive skills and cultural awareness. Through engaging activities, songs, and games, children will learn basic Spanish and American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate in new ways.
