A letter from our

Ivy Kids Founders!

When we started Ivy Kids in 2003, our goal was to develop a learning center that we would want to enroll our children in. Since then, our children have grown up, and Ivy Kids has grown into one of the most trusted early learning providers in the greater Houston areas.

We are now offering this unique franchise opportunity to families like yours who are passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for children. We are looking for families who, like ours, want to develop a learning center they would be proud to enroll their kids in.
