The Magnolia location is owned by Bulbul Patel-Shah and Parth Shah, local residents raising two young children of their own. As parents in the community, they say their goal is to create a center that feels dependable and welcoming — a place families can rely on day after day. Their involvement adds a local layer to a brand that has expanded across Texas since its founding in 2005.
According to information provided by Ivy Kids Audubon, the school will follow the organization’s established framework, including age-specific curriculum, secure entry systems, CPR- and first aid-certified staff, on-site educational leadership and ongoing teacher training beyond state requirements.

Early childhood experts often cite that much of a child’s brain development occurs before age five, which is why many families prioritize structured early learning programs when choosing where to live.

With construction expected to continue through the summer, families can schedule virtual tours and request enrollment information ahead of the projected opening.
