Vivvi Carnegie Hill (formerly MetroKids Lexington) is a for-profit child-care and early-learning center on Lexington Ave in Carnegie Hill, serving infants through preschoolers (roughly 3 months to 5 years). It runs year-round with rolling admissions and flexible full-time or part-time enrollment, open 8am-6pm to fit working-parent schedules. The inquiry-based 'Vivvi Learning Model' lets children's curiosity guide a research-based curriculum, supported by meals for children over 1 and enrichment such as ballet and soccer for older kids. Enrollment is by virtual open house, campus tour, and application rather than a fixed admissions cycle.
