Ivybrook Academy
Ivybrook Academy is a Montessori & Reggio Emilia-inspired children's pre-elementary school. Our schools are uniquely positioned to not compete with ANY other daycares, pre-schools, or tutoring centers because of our unique schedule and educational model. Our franchise owners are passionate about making a difference in the lives of children while creating their quality of life giving them nearly 1/3rd of the year off because of our academic school schedule. The total investment is low, and the return is high, and the rewards are priceless. Ivybrook Academy provides excellence in early childhood education by valuing our student’s individuality, enhancing their academic achievements, and inspiring their love of learning. Unlike childcare services that cater to working parents, Ivybrook is a half-day, curriculum-based learning environment. Our business model focuses on education, not childcare services. Nationally recognized for their proprietary multifaceted approach to preschool curriculum, Ivybrook Academy has emerged as a leader in the field of early childhood education. Topics of study and experiences are designed to reflect and support a child’s interests and needs. Our franchise owners are passionate about making a meaningful difference in the lives of children while creating a great quality of life for their families.
