At IVEY, our approach is inspired by the Reggio Emilia’s philosophy. We view every child as a competent learner, eager to learn everything surrounds them from day of birth and to shape their own learnings. We embrace the belief that social skill and knowledge is constructed through human interaction.
Our Reggio-Inspired + Inquiry approach provides hands-on and collaborative learning experiences that develops a child’s creativity, imagination and problem-solving skills. The children construct their own knowledge through social interactions and project-based investigations while our teachers play a crucial role by posing questions, problems or scenarios to support the children’s curiosities and theories.

When children are being surrounded with tools and materials, they will venture into their own wonders and investigations, effortlessly. Hence, developing their cognitive skills innately and naturally.
