Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence is about learning through movement and hands-on experiences. When children move, touch, build, and explore, they are using their bodies to interact with the world around them and make sense of new ideas.

Movement is more than an opportunity to be active. Movement-based learning can support attention, memory, and academic development, helping children stay focused and make meaningful connections as they learn.

For young children, this can look like stacking and building, dancing to music, exploring sensory materials, practicing fine motor skills, or using their whole bodies to participate in an activity. Each experience gives children another way to learn by doing.

At Ivy Kids, bodily-kinesthetic learning is incorporated throughout the day through hands-on classroom activities, music and movement, sensory exploration, and outdoor play. These experiences give children opportunities to move with purpose while building skills that support learning and development.

Giving your child small, age-appropriate responsibilities can create meaningful opportunities to build confidence, independence and responsibility.

At Ivy Kids Early Learning Center, social-emotional development is intentionally supported through everyday classroom experiences. Children receive age-appropriate classroom jobs—such as leading a song, helping clean up or turning off the lights—so they can practice contributing to their classroom community.

These meaningful responsibilities help children see that their efforts matter and give them opportunities to build independence, confidence and pride in their work.

🏠 Try this at home: Give your child one simple, age-appropriate responsibility, such as putting away toys, feeding a pet or placing napkins on the table. Acknowledge the specific effort: “You remembered your job and helped our family. Thank you!”

Small responsibilities create meaningful opportunities for children to feel capable, helpful and valued.

Our Pre-K 2 students put their counting skills to work with these hands-on math sensory bins! From building pasta and apple crisps to creating s’mores and the perfect pool party, students followed recipe cards, counted each item, and learned through play. 💙

Hands-on learning makes math even more fun! 🥄☀️

At Ivy Kids Early Learning Center, we have a dedicated Enrichment Coordinator focused specifically on bringing STEAM, Spanish and more to life for our students.

As part of our research-based MultiPrep® curriculum, children regularly explore science, technology, engineering, art and math—or STEAM—through thoughtfully planned, age-appropriate experiences. The Enrichment Coordinator prepares and leads these activities, giving children meaningful opportunities to ask questions, experiment, solve problems and discover new interests.

It is a dedicated role with an important purpose: making enrichment a consistent, engaging part of every child’s Ivy Kids experience.
