Why Ivybrook?
A Growing Industry: In 2014, the child care industry surpassed $46.6 billion.
Ivybrook Academy was created by a public school teacher who was looking to balance quality of life with owning a business. As a highly involved mom of two very young children, she sought a means of achieving financial freedom that would also allow her more time with her kids. Enter the Ivybrook Academy model.
IVYBROOK VS DAYCARES
Why choose to open an Ivybrook Franchise rather than a daycare? An Ivybrook Academy location features the following:
- Steady daytime hours of operation – 8:15 to 4:30
- No transportation/busing of children
- No lunches served
- Professional teachers with 4-year teaching degrees
- Progressive blended curriculum based on Reggio Emilia and Montessori methods
- The facility is closed approximately 32 work days per year
- When summer hours are involved, the facility closes by noon
And these are just a few of the benefits to owning your Ivybrook Academy franchise!
Remember – we will assist you every step of the way on your journey through the franchising process. From helping you find the right location, developing the building plans, and going through construction to ordering your equipment and furniture, hiring staff, training and more, we will offer the support you need and deserve. As part of the Ivybrook Academy franchise family, we’ll help you through developing, running, and owning your own Ivybrook Academy!
What We Provide
Giving You The Tools You Need: We believe in equipping you to succeed in your new Ivybrook Academy Franchise.
We provide you with the tools and support you need for success including full curriculum, lesson plans, your FF & E (furniture, fixtures & equipment) list, marketing plan, advertising support, website listing, an intranet, and more.
Training Is Integral: Success could be out of reach without proper training and support.
We believe in making sure that everyone involved is thoroughly trained and equipped to help you in your endeavor as an Ivybrook Academy franchise holder. We feature on-site training in one of our existing corporate-run facilities. This offers you a firsthand look at what you might expect in a fully functioning facility. You will be able to interact with staff, observe children in the academic setting, and get a feel for the atmosphere you should expect in your own facility.
We also provide on-site training at your facility prior to opening. This allows us the chance to help train your staff on what they should expect, how to handle daily operations, and what to do in various situations that may arise. The training doesn’t stop there, however. We are available to help train new staff, offer insights into issues you may not feel up to speed on, and to help you answer any questions that may come up after the school opens.
