BIRMINGHAM CLASSROOMS

At IXL Birminhgam, we strive to provide a wide array of classrooms that foster personal and educational growth in all children.
Discover more about each of our classrooms by clicking on them below.

INFANT

Here at IXL, personalized care is our speciality, because we know that no two babies are alike. Walk into one of our Infant classrooms and you’ll quickly discover a loving, highly individualized environment. Our caregivers work effortlessly to ensure every baby’s needs are met, including those particular little routines they fall into at home. Every child is provided with their own crib, and play time is encouraged through tummy time, jumparoos, exersaucers, and boppy seats, all of which contribute to their wellbeing, awareness, sensory perception, and motor skills.

To further stimulate your baby’s development, we created our Littlest Smarties Curriculum, a comprehensive program featuring weekly themes, art projects, songs and fingerplays, sensory activities, sign language, and the introduction of early learning concepts.

Led by well-trained, highly attentive staff who love what they do, our infants are nurtured and loved every minute of their day. We work hard to ensure every child is provided with the materials and experiences needed to grow and develop. This begins with a strong parent-teacher partnership and open communication.

INFANT TOO

We get it: the road to toddlerhood can be bumpy. That’s why we offer Infant Too classrooms, a safe environment that actively encourages babies to explore, learn, and grow their way into a strong, independent toddler. Just like our Infant classrooms, Infant Too babies receive highly personalized care from their teachers, all of whom communicate regularly with parents about their child’s routines, developmental progress, and memorable milestones.

The program is designed to keep your baby exploring and interacting with their classroom comrades and teachers. Through our Littlest Smarties curriculum, children are engaged in age-appropriate activities, including art projects, songs and fingerplays, sensory play, sign language, and early learning with colors, shapes, and numbers.

TODDLER

If there’s one thing we know about toddlers, it’s that they are learning and developing so quickly, each day is different from the last. During this transformative season of development, our Toddler classroom provides the exploratory experiences your child craves while nourishing their social, physical, emotional, and cognitive growth. A wide array of materials and equipment are provided, meeting them at their individual level of development.

This classroom operates on a flexible daily schedule, giving children a sense of security and familiarity. Guided by our Little Smarties curriculum, our toddlers engage in a small circle time where they sing songs, practice sign language, and learn basic early learning concepts. To further promote their independence, our toddlers practice washing their hands, cleaning up their play space, and sharing with friends. Everything we do, from the skills we teach to the attentive care we give, encourages constant growth and development in our youngest toddlers.

YOUNG PRESCHOOL

After graduating from the energetic toddler phase, our children enter the Young Preschool classroom. This is a warm, welcoming environment that builds upon their skills of independence and promotes creative discovery.

Our Young Preschool classrooms are guided by our IXL Social Emotional and Smart Start Curriculum, two comprehensive programs that focus on communication skills, socialization, and emotional development. The room operates on a daily schedule, and engages children through various art projects, sensory experiences, gross motor activities, outdoor play, story time, and small circle times. Our Smart Start Curriculum focuses on the mastery of shapes, colors, and counting, and introduces kiddos to the alphabet, phonics, and handwriting skills.

Although children learn from one another and socialize together, our teachers ensure that each child receives the individual care and attention they need. Through hands-on experiences, we develop personal interaction and problem-solving skills, improving their ability to communicate, socialize, and be part of a greater community.

PRESCHOOL

At this age, your child is developing into a mature communicator who craves independence. In other words, they’ve entered the preschool phase, a magical season of rapid growth, blossoming personalities, and exciting milestones!

In our IXL Preschool room, we focus on two major concepts: independence and education. From toilet training to manners to dressing themselves, our preschoolers are exposed to a myriad of experiences that fulfill their craving for independence. Guided by our Social Emotional Curriculum, children learn how to solve problems through conflict-resolution techniques, and our teachers show them what it means to be a good friend who listens carefully and communicates thoughtfully.

Education is also a primary focus in our Preschool room. Structured by intentional learning stations, our classroom encourages children to try new things, test out their ideas, and fuel their imaginations. Through our Smart Start Curriculum, our kiddos practice a variety of skills, including IXL Phonics, multi-language word recognition, number, shape, and color recognition, counting, and sorting. Teachers assess each child’s development and growth, and academic and creative work is saved in their preschool portfolio.

PRE-K

As the final stepping stone to Kindergarten, our Pre-K Classroom focuses on social emotional development, and empowers children to build their confidence, establish routines and transitioning skills, and finesse their communication skills.
Our Smart Start Curriculum offers a more concentrated educational focus, and actively promotes a love of learning in each of our children. Students develop their word recognition, practice writing their first and last names, and expand upon the pre-reading skills they learned in previous classrooms. We emphasize good choices, set goals, and we learn the value of cooperation, friendship, and teamwork.
After graduating from our Pre-K Classroom, your little learner’s toolbox will be fully stocked for a successful experience in grade school and beyond.

What are Birmingham families saying about IXL?!

We have had 2 kids at IXL now and can't say enough about how great the teachers are there. They love being with our kids, teaching them, and watching them grow. They prepared our oldest very well for kindergarten and nurtured both of them through the tough transition from Mommy to infant room! We would definitely recommend them to any of our friends in the area.

Our kids have both gone to IXL for years. To say we like IXL is an understatement. The staff feels like family. They genuinely care about and get to really know the kids. Often when picking up either of our kids they would ask to stay and play longer! To me that's really the test. Kids who WANT to be at daycare.
Our youngest has severe allergies to many foods and they have bent over backwards to make sure he is safe and that we feel safe with him in their care.

I absolutely love IXL Birmingham! I have two children currently enrolled and I cannot rave enough about the teachers and the wonderful learning and social environment provided. I love to hear my pre-schooler share what she learns everyday, as well as see my baby learn sign language and be able to communicate at such an early age. And it’s always a good sign when you pull up each morning and your child screams in delight “we’re at school!”
The teachers have always been attentive and loving towards the children. They truly feel like a second family for us. I absolutely recommend IXL for any family looking for a great learning center for their young child.

We were so nervous about putting our baby in day care initially but we have been going there for a few months now and couldn’t be happier! The teachers are so personable and give very detailed report outs at pick up. The tadpoles app is such a nice tool because I can get real time updates and I love seeing weekly pictures. We highly recommend IXL!

We love IXL! Our son has been attending for 3 years now. The facility is always clean and cared for. The teachers genuinely care about their students. The communication via the Tadpoles app is a nice bonus. We feel so happy to have a daycare that we feel so comfortable with and would not hesitate to recommend to friends or family.
