Ivybrook Academy

One of our favorite days each month is Discovery Day, a day when we get to hear the stories from potential new members to the Ivybrook Academy ownership family. We get to spend a day learning about their journeys, their passions, and their talents while talking to them about our amazing families, educators, team, and students.

Walking hand-in-hand is a part of the Ivybrook way. Our educators do this with our students, and our franchise team does this with our campus owners. We would love to walk with you. www.ivybrookacademy.com

🌿 Meet Linda Kolat, Franchise Support Specialist for Ivybrook Academy! Why Ivybrook? 🌿 "I've been so fortunate to call Ivybrook my home and be part of the Ivybrook family for 11 years. Knowing that children are curious, capable learners with a love of learning, I've witnessed how they are valued and supported here. I've seen directly the positive impact Ivybrook has had, which is so important to their personal growth and academic success."

Two of our newest owners, Vivek Jaikamal and Maneesha Mankad, veterans of the Ann Arbor community, were interviewed last week by Lucy Ann Lance for Ann Arbor Talk Radio. Listen to them discuss their passion for education, which led them to discover the unique preschool program at Ivybrook Academy and to bring it to the Ann Arbor area in Fall 2025.  https://lnkd.in/e-e3jBbZ
