ToggleWhen you franchise with Ivy Kids, you become a trusted provider for families and children. A key advantage that sets our brand apart is our early learning curriculum. As education experts, we’ve developed our proprietary IvyPrep curriculum to foster academics, leadership, and values at the highest level.
We’ve combined the best thinking of early learning methodologies to create a curriculum that provides a high-quality, well-rounded education for children. Children who attend early learning centers and participate in early childhood education program are:
- Less likely to repeat a grade
- Less likely to be identified as having special needs
- More prepared academically for later grades
- More likely to graduate from high school
- Eventual higher earners in the workforce
Franchising with Ivy Kids can help the children in your community achieve their full potential!

Our Proprietary IvyPrep Curriculum
Ivy Kids believes in nurturing the whole child. To do that, we’ve taken the time to research many different developmental theorists and their approaches to early childhood education to build the framework for our engaging IvyPrep curriculum.
Our research led us to Dr. Howard Gardner and his theory of multiple intelligences. This theory posits that there is not one single type of intelligence; rather, there are several distinct areas of intellectual competencies. Essentially, everyone has a unique intellectual profile that presents with given areas of competency.
We incorporated multiple intelligences, as well as other early learning methodologies, into our curriculum. Aside from multiple intelligences, we’ve also integrated elements from Dr. Maria Montessori and her child-focused approach.
Dr. Montessori’s method fosters self-motivated growth for children in cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development. Montessori schools are student-led, create natural opportunities for independence, embrace multi-sensory learning, and encourage students to grow up to be confident, enthusiastic, and self-directed learners.
