At Ivy Kids, we believe early education should help every child discover how they learn best. We create caring, engaging environments that encourage curiosity, confidence, and a lasting love of learning. More than a childcare franchise, Ivy Kids is a community-centered brand committed to children and families.
Since opening our first learning center in 2003, Ivy Kids has focused on creating an experience that goes beyond traditional childcare. Our Cognia®-accredited MultiPrep® curriculum draws on the theory of multiple intelligences, helping teachers engage children through different ways of thinking, exploring, communicating, and creating.
We also recognize that learning is influenced by how children feel throughout the day. Through BrainBites®, our centers serve freshly prepared meals and snacks from on-site kitchens, making nutrition part of the daily care experience rather than an added extra.
This integrated approach allows Ivy Kids to nurture children’s minds and bodies within one thoughtfully designed early learning experience.
Alnoor and Laila Bandali started Ivy Kids in 2003 with a deeply personal goal: to create an early learning center they would feel proud to choose for their own children. As parents, they understood the importance of a safe, nurturing environment where children could receive meaningful care and education.
That vision continues to guide the brand. Having built and operated Ivy Kids centers themselves, Alnoor and Laila bring firsthand experience to the franchise system and remain committed to supporting owners who share their dedication to children, families, and community impact.

Being an owner isn’t very different from I feel like just being a good human because Ivy Kids is all about being a home away from home.

Ivy Kids welcomes candidates from many professional backgrounds. Education experience is not required, but owners should care deeply about children, lead with purpose, and be ready to take an active role in their center.
