Ivy Kids franchise owners are business operators, community builders and passionate advocates for early childhood education who love helping young students on their social and cognitive development journeys.
Franchisees get a proven business model and extensive training and support, along with the chance to be part of a greater purpose: using their learning centers to thrive professionally while aiding in the growth and development of the children in their care.
Why Franchise Owner Testimonials Matter
Testimonials on your website can play a pivotal role in fostering trust in your community by:
- Building genuine connections
- Enhancing brand credibility
- Highlighting core values
- Showcasing curriculum and program offerings
Franchise owner testimonials provide invaluable insights not only for families, offering an authentic look into your learning center, but also for potential franchise owners, giving them a glimpse into day-to-day operations.
Franchise Business Review encourages prospective investors to first evaluate franchisee satisfaction data before franchising with a particular brand. For example, high franchisee satisfaction ratings are often linked to franchisors who excel in offering:
- A positive workplace culture
- Financial support
- Operational guidance and assistance
- Growth and expansion potential
- Business resiliency
Success Stories from Ivy Kids Franchise Owners
There’s a reason why Ivy Kids is one of the best franchises to own. From securing the right location to helping new owners navigate initial challenges, we support our franchisees at every step, enabling them to make a lasting impact on children’s lives. Here’s what two of our franchise owners have to say about their experiences:
- Zahra Nanjee at Ivy Kids of Hobbs: “Being an owner isn’t very different from just being a good human being. Ivy Kids is a home away from home. As a franchisee, owner, and educator, we have the privilege of connecting with the community, meeting with families, and understanding children. From finding our location to calming any insecurities we had, Ivy Kids has been there to hold our hand every step of the process.”
- Ava Avendano at Ivy Kids of Long Meadow Farms: “Research says 90% of brain development happens before the age of five. So I have the responsibility of building a solid foundation for our children to be successful in life.”
Zahra and Ava’s testimonials highlight our strong, community-driven commitment at Ivy Kids. When franchisees join our franchising family, we empower them to leverage our early childhood education curriculum to help shape the future of young learners in their communities.
Profitability and Growth: Is Franchise Ownership Worth the Investment?
Franchising in the education sector offers a profitable opportunity for several key reasons, including:
- Growing Demand for Quality Education: The U.S. childcare market is in high demand, with early childhood education expected to rise at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.21% from 2023 to 2030. With parents seeking exceptional learning experiences for their children, franchise ownership with a highly regarded learning center like Ivy Kids is a sound investment.
- Proven Success with Reputable Brands: Franchising with a trusted brand such as Ivy Kids allows business owners to leverage an established business model, offering them a secure foundation for success and long-term growth. As one of the highest-grossing franchises, Ivy Kids franchisees generated an average gross revenue of approximately $2,677,095 in 2024.*
Even in the competitive childcare market, Ivy Kids’ franchising opportunities provide stability and steady growth through diverse income streams, including early learning offerings at every stage of development as well as before- and after-school and summer camp programs.

Overcoming Challenges in the Daycare Franchise Industry
While owning a childcare business is incredibly rewarding, franchisees commonly encounter challenges in this vital industry, including:
- Choosing the right franchise to invest in
- Understanding the pain points of your specific target market
- Managing startup and ongoing franchise costs
- Competing with similar businesses in proximity
- Following industry trends and technology advancements
- Building trust with parents and the local community
However, as one of the highest-grossing franchises, Ivy Kids offers ongoing guidance, operational support, and comprehensive training to help franchisees run successful businesses that remain compliant with all educational, health, and safety regulations.
Why Ivy Kids Stands Out
Ivy Kids offers unique selling points that set us apart from our competitors:
- High Educational Standards: Our dynamic MultiPrep curriculum, inspired by Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligences theory, provides tailored learning experiences that foster growth in multiple areas.
- Commitment to Good Nutrition: Every Ivy Kids Learning Center has its own chef and kitchen where “Brain Bites” are prepared. These delicious and nutritious meals support children’s cognitive development, keeping them consistently healthy and ready to learn.
- State-of-the-Art Facilities: We utilize the best technology and infrastructure to support educational excellence and safety, with our franchisees leveraging unrivaled knowledge in site development and real estate at their learning centers.
- Safe Learning Centers: With constant surveillance systems, automated access, and full-day monitoring, we strive to make our locations secure for young learners. Parents can check on their children during the day via webcams, touchscreen monitoring, and other safety measures built into every Ivy Kids Learning Center.
