Welcome to Ivybrook Academy, the premier Montessori and Reggio Emilia inspired children’s Pre-School franchise. We are a unique educational model that is designed to compete with other daycares, pre-schools, or tutoring centers. With Ivybrook Academy, you can make a difference in the lives of children while creating your own quality of life, giving you almost 1/3rd of the year off because of our academic school schedule.

Our business model focuses on education, not childcare services, as we provide excellence in progressive early childhood education by valuing our student’s individuality, enhancing their academic achievements, and inspiring their love of learning. 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.

The Ivybrook Academy franchise is semi-absentee, allowing you to keep your day job and spend only 20 hours per week being the ‘Mayor’ of the community and 10 hours on small business functions. Our set hours of 8:15am-4:30pm weekdays only allows you to enrich the lives of children and make a meaningful impact on the community you serve while having almost a third of the year off during the summer, giving you an excellent work-life balance.

Our franchise model is turn-key, with curriculum, lesson plans, and operations manuals created for a plug and play opening, making it easy to operate with lower startup costs than our competitors. With no need for transportation or lunches, we offer simple snacks, making it even easier to operate.

The child care industry is a $48 billion industry, and the demand for high-quality early education and care has never been higher in this country. Our Ivybrook Academy model is tested with OVER 12 years of operation, making it a reliable investment for franchisees.

With predictable revenues, modest investment, incredible unit economics, incredible quality of life, community involvement, and being recession resilient, Ivybrook Academy is the perfect franchise opportunity for candidates looking to participate in the ever-growing childcare and education space.
