Real Estate Assistance
We provide our franchisees with real estate development support, helping simplify the process from conception to operation. Our experienced real estate team is with franchisees every step of the way, offering assistance with site selection, demographic studies, feasibility assessments, and how to secure permits.
Our real estate support also extends to construction management training, aiding owners in locating, designing, and developing new schools within their communities. At Ivy Kids, we’re committed to supporting franchisees through the complexities of business ownership and aim to make the building and launching of an Ivy Kids childcare center more efficient for franchise owners.
In-Demand Services and Curriculum
Families choose Ivy Kids for our in-demand services, including a proprietary, research-based curriculum known as MultiPrep. This curriculum, developed after extensive research into the most recent theories and approaches in early childhood education, sets the foundation for effective learning. MultiPrep, inspired by Dr. Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences, incorporates hands-on, engaging activities to nurture a love for learning. We also provide a World Changers Program focusing on learning about community leaders, and our BrainBites nutrition program encouraging healthy eating.
