Magnolia, TX, February 2, 2026 — Audubon, a +/- 3000-acre master-planned community developed by Audubon Magnolia Development, LLC., located at the intersection of SH 249 and FM 1488, is continuing to expand its product profile to include a nationally recognized early education and childcare brand, Ivy Kids Early Learning Center. Ivy Kids will open its doors to the youngest of the Audubon population thereby becoming a bridge between the home nest and Audubon Elementary School.
There are 7 planned districts in Audubon, each being a “super neighborhood” with hundreds of homesites in each district.
Ivy Kids will be announcing the official groundbreaking of its newest location in Audubon’s Creekside South District. The Early Learning Center’s site will be nestled against Mill Run Creek with its main entrance on Mill Run Drive which connects to FM 1488 to SH 249. Creekside South is expected to have approximately 232 homesites interconnected by trails that take residents through easy walks along pocket parks with views of Mill Run Pond.
The new Ivy Kids Early Learning Center will span approximately 10,500 square feet. Once completed, the purpose-built facility will serve up to 220 children, from infants through Pre-Kindergarten, after school program and seasonal camps. It is expected to employ 45 teachers and staff members, creating meaningful jobs within the local community.
Designed with children and families in mind, the center will feature thoughtfully planned classrooms, secure entry, parental access to cameras, age-appropriate learning environments, and engaging indoor and outdoor learning spaces that support Ivy Kids’ commitment to safety, innovation, and academic excellence.
“At Ivy Kids, we believe that access to high-quality early education strengthens families and builds stronger communities,” said Bulbul Patel-Shah, owner of Ivy Kids Audubon. “As the owner of Ivy Kids Audubon—and as a mother of two young children—I am deeply committed to creating a nurturing, safe, and inspiring environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. This center reflects what I want for my own children: high-quality early education, caring teachers, and a strong partnership with families. We are proud to bring Ivy Kids to the Audubon community and look forward to supporting local families during some of the most important years of their children’s development.”
“We are proud to announce the expansion of our educational facilities with the opening of Ivy Kids in Creekside South. This is a strategic move designed to meet the growing needs of our community and enhance learning opportunities for our youngest residents,” said Sam Yager III, Vice President of Audubon Magnolia Development, LLC. “Ivy Kids will be a stepping stone between the home and the more rigid, educational environment offered by Audubon Elementary School. This certainly aligns with our goal of creating a place where homes, natural areas, amenities, education and everyday conveniences are just right around the corner from residents’ doorsteps.”
Ivy Kids Early Learning Center is known for its MultiPrep® Curriculum, a research-informed, multiple-intelligence approach that supports academic readiness, creativity, critical thinking, and social-emotional development. Children also benefit from the Ivy Kids BrainBites® Nutrition Program, which provides wholesome meals and snacks, and the World Changers® Character Development Program, designed to instill kindness, confidence, and responsibility from an early age.
The new Ivy Kids center will play a vital role in supporting working families by offering full-day, year-round care in a safe, nurturing environment, helping parents balance career demands while ensuring their children receive a strong educational foundation. Construction is expected to be completed in the fall of 2026 with enrollment happening now.
