Lexington, Massachusetts

This is a cozy home to explore,
For little Ivy and five more.

Ivy Grove of Lexington is a licensed family child care, but we run it like an extended family. Home-cooked meals, mixed-age play, slow mornings in the sunroom — the way we raise Ivy, every day.

What matters here

More space to explore. More time to be held.

Home

Beyond childproofed. Child-designed.

We built this home for children — low tables, climb-safe shelves, soft corners, and a big sunroom filled with morning light. Everything is child-sized, safe, and made for wandering, so little Ivy and her friends can explore freely.

Food

Organic whenever possible. Homemade. Always nut-free.

We cook fresh every morning with seasonal vegetables and local eggs whenever available — no added sugar, simple ingredients, and always nut-free. Every Friday, we send families the menu for the following week, so you know exactly what your child will be eating.

Learning

Our own curriculum, shared with you.

We write our materials by age and rhythm, not by pressure. Babies, toddlers, and preschoolers each receive what fits them — songs, hands-on play, early language, sensory exploration, and small projects. We share our weekly plan with families, so learning can gently continue at home.
