Stories of Growth and Discovery
Our Story
Created by Parents,
for Families
In 2005, Al and Laila Bandali couldn’t find the early learning experience they envisioned for their children—one that blended warmth, structure, and joyful discovery. So they built it.
Today, Ivy Kids has helped thousands of families give their children a smarter, more nurturing start.
“We weren’t just looking for better childcare. We were seeking a place where our children could flourish—mind, body, and heart.”
Laila Bandali, Co-Founder
