Franchise Training and Support
At Ivy Kids franchise we don’t expect you to have experience in the early education industry. In fact we provide our franchisees with comprehensive training and support. Not only do we teach you how to run an Ivy Kids franchise, we provide you with support resources to simplify operations whenever possible. Learn more about our franchise training and support, here.

What is Our Franchise Training Program About?
Franchisees take part in an in-depth, three-week training program at our headquarters in Houston, Texas. There, we’ll lay out the details on how to run an Ivy Kids franchise — from record keeping to enrolling new families, to hiring great teachers, and more. By the time your training is complete, you should feel prepared to return to your school and hit the ground running.
Our assistance doesn’t end there. We’ll spend another two weeks with you on-site at your Ivy Kids franchise, helping you apply what you’ve learned to prepare for a successful grand opening. Franchisees can also look forward to ongoing training and professional development to keep them up-to-date on best practices.
