“The Ivy International School is an early learning center that provides Spanish language and cultural immersion for children 18 months to five years of age. As children enter the doors, they are immersed in the Spanish language through play, music, dance, literacy, games and conversation; this encourages bilingualism within an age window during which the ability to learn a second language is at its peak. At The Ivy International School, children are provided age-appropriate activities in an atmosphere reflecting the warmth, charm and color of Latin America.” TweetEmail TweetEmail
