We Stand Out from Other
Early Education Franchises
Ivy Kids is unique to our industry. We aspire to help all of the children we serve to reach their fullest potential. Not only do we work to achieve that through the differentiators below, we’ve also created a culture of caring and engagement. Our teachers build strong relationships with kids and their families, and we get to know their unique interests and talents. Our founders and existing franchisees are all deeply invested in helping these children reach their full potential, and we’re looking for new franchisees to help us continue to strengthen this unique brand culture.

Full-day monitoring for parents via webcams, auto-lock doors and gates, touchscreen monitoring, and other safety measures are built into every franchise. Furthermore, our staff is highly trained in CPR and first aid. Our continual management walkthroughs and checks ensure that everyone is doing their part to keep our schools secure. Finally, we have critical procedures in place for emergencies. Parents love that Ivy Kids goes above and beyond to ensure the safety of their children.
Why Ivy Kids
Curriculum & leadership
Curriculum/Leadership: Our unique curriculum is based on Harvard Professor Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences, which posits that everyone uses multiple skill sets in their everyday life. Thus, intelligence can’t be quantified by a single measure like an IQ score. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all curriculum that can stimulate some learners while leaving others bored and unengaged. We nurture all eight clusters of intelligence through our proprietary active learning curriculum:
- Kinesthetic
- Naturalistic
- Linguistic
- Intrapersonal
- Musical
- Visual
- Logical
- Interpersonal
