About Ivybrook Academy Franchise

Ivybrook Academy was created by a public school teacher who was looking to balance quality of life with owning a business. As a highly involved mom of two very young children, she sought a means of achieving financial freedom that would also allow her more time with her kids.

IVYBROOK VS DAYCARES

Why choose to open an Ivybrook Franchise rather than a daycare?

An Ivybrook Academy location features the following:

• Steady daytime hours of operation – 8:15 to 4:30
• No transportation/busing of children
• No lunches served
• Professional teachers with 4-year teaching degrees
• Progressive blended curriculum based on Reggio Emilia and Montessori methods
• The facility is closed approximately 32 work days per year
• When summer hours are involved, the facility closes by noon

And these are just a few of the benefits to owning your Ivybrook Academy franchise!

Remember – we will assist you every step of the way on your journey through the franchising process. From helping you find the right location, developing the building plans, and going through construction to ordering your equipment and furniture, hiring staff, training and more, we will offer the support you need and deserve. As part of the Ivybrook Academy franchise family, we’ll help you through developing, running, and owning your own Ivybrook Academy!

GIVING YOU THE TOOLS YOU NEED

We believe in equipping you to succeed in your new Ivybrook Academy Franchise.

When it comes to stepping into a franchise, the task may seem overwhelming. We believe that this does not have to be the case. We offer you the tools and support you need to both get off the ground, and to run your day to day operations.

Remember, we have gone through this process ourselves and are here to help you overcome any obstacles you may face! Our Ivybrook Academy franchise blueprint will help you with laying out the complete path from start to finish, meaning no hidden surprises along the way. The journey down the path to launching your new Ivybrook Academy should be enjoyable, not stressful.

We provide you with the tools and support you need for success including full curriculum, lesson plans, your FF & E (furniture, fixtures & equipment) list, marketing plan, advertising support, website listing, an intranet, and more.

TRAINING IS INTEGRAL

Success could be out of reach without proper training and support.

We believe in making sure that everyone involved is thoroughly trained and equipped to help you in your endeavor as an Ivybrook Academy franchise holder. We feature on-site training in one of our existing corporate-run facilities. This offers you a firsthand look at what you might expect in a fully functioning facility. You will be able to interact with staff, observe children in the academic setting, and get a feel for the atmosphere you should expect in your own facility.

We also provide on-site training at your facility prior to opening. This allows us the chance to help train your staff on what they should expect, how to handle daily operations, and what to do in various situations that may arise. The training doesn’t stop there, however. We are available to help train new staff, offer insights into issues you may not feel up to speed on, and to help you answer any questions that may come up after the school opens.
