Brand overview
Ivy Kids Early Learning Center operates premium preschool and early learning facilities powered by a proprietary, intelligence-based curriculum. Founded in 2003 by Alnoor and Laila Bandali, the brand began with a simple goal: to create a learning center they would want to enroll their own children in. What started as a family-owned endeavor in the greater Houston area has grown into one of the most trusted early learning providers in the country. Today, centers offer infant and toddler care, pre-kindergarten, after-school care, enrichment programs, and summer camps, all within safe, nurturing, and educational environments.
