Explore the world of Early Ivy Education, where we specialize in providing exceptional care for infants through preschool, along with after-school programs. The Woodlands campus is dedicated to embracing the principles of the renowned Reggio Emilia approach, creating dynamic learning environments that encourage curiosity, creativity, and exploration.
What Makes Us Different
We know it takes a community to truly master the whole child approach. We embrace varied family compositions so that the individual child may flourish.
Premier Reggio Curriculum
Originating in the picturesque town of Reggio Emilia, Italy, the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education is rooted in the profound belief that each child is a unique individual with boundless potential for learning and expression.
Central to the Reggio Emilia philosophy is the utilization of children’s senses as powerful tools for exploration and discovery. By engaging sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell, this approach fosters a rich and multisensory learning experience. Reggio Emilia classrooms are intentionally designed to reflect this sensory-focused approach, featuring spacious and open environments adorned with natural elements and a wealth of stimulating materials.
At Early Ivy Education, we embrace the principles of the Reggio Emilia approach to create dynamic learning spaces where children are encouraged to follow their curiosity, explore their surroundings, and express themselves creatively. Through our thoughtfully curated curriculum and natural environments, we provide opportunities for children to engage with the world around them, fostering a lifelong love for learning and inquiry.

Hello, my name is Isabelle Revelli. I have been working in early childhood for 26 years. I hold a bachelor’s degree from Paris Sud University. I genuinely enjoy seeing children discover the world around them, interacting with them, and guiding them to explore and build vital critical thinking skills through hands-on fun activities. I also strongly believe in the value of expositing young children to art and music. In my free time, I have run four Houston Marathons and several Sprint Triathlons.
