Join us in inspiring young minds through creativity and discovery!
Art & Craft
At Little Ivy, our Art & Craft Class blends storytelling, creativity, and hands-on exploration to inspire young artists and support emotional growth. Each session begins with an engaging story or themed activity that sparks curiosity and sets the stage for meaningful artistic expression. Children are then guided through an art project using a variety of materials and techniques—painting, sculpting, collage, and mixed media—encouraging them to explore their creativity freely. Through this immersive and reflective approach, children not only develop artistic skills, but also strengthen their imagination, problem-solving abilities, and the emotional connection between stories and self-expression. By creating art in a mindful, supportive space, children experience the healing power of creativity—helping them process feelings, build confidence, and find joy in their unique creations. Our goal is to foster a fun, enriching, and healing environment where every child feels seen, inspired, and proud of who they are.
Mindfulness & Yoga
At Little Ivy, we offer a unique Creative Wellness Class that blends the healing power of art, the rhythm of music, and the balance of yoga into one joyful, enriching experience. Designed to support the mind, body, and spirit, this class encourages children to move, express, and create in a safe and inspiring environment.
Children begin with mindful movement and yoga, enhanced by balance boards to build core strength, coordination, and body awareness. Guided by our certified yoga instructor (RTY), each session includes stretching, breathwork, and playful balancing activities that improve focus, posture, and confidence.
Mandarin
At Little Ivy, our Mandarin & Culture Class brings language to life through a rich blend of storytelling, cultural exploration, and creative expression. Each session begins with a meaningful story from Chinese culture or history, shared by our experienced language teacher to spark curiosity and create emotional connection.
Children are invited to reflect, ask questions, and share their own thoughts—building personal connections that make learning Mandarin engaging and memorable. From there, students explore Chinese characters, practice pronunciationthrough playful songs and poems, and build vocabulary through interactive activities.
To deepen cultural understanding, children participate in hands-on projects such as traditional crafts, calligraphy, or festival-themed art—linking language with visual and sensory learning.
This immersive, creative approach nurtures a genuine love for the Mandarin language, while fostering cultural appreciation, confidence, and a sense of global awareness.
Music
At Little Ivy, our Music & Sound Exploration class nurtures creativity, confidence, and emotional expression through rhythm, melody, and movement. Children explore instruments like piano, ukulele, while learning to use their voices through singing and storytelling.
Each session blends music fundamentals with cultural songs, creative play, and emotional connection, helping kids develop a love for music and a deeper understanding of how sound supports well-being and self-expression.
