Rachel’s heart is to inspire and develop children to know they are loved and fully capable of anything. After a degree in Early Childhood Education from Texas Tech University and a solid experience as an elementary school teacher, she and her husband Ryan researched various options before choosing Ivybrook Academy, a franchisor which provides a progressive approach to early childhood education. They approached their lender, which suggested working with the Texas Tech University – Lubbock SBDC for assistance with their proforma. Their plan was approved at the bank, and Rachel & Ryan started the hard work of turning their vison into reality. Now located in a fast-growing area of Lubbock surrounded by several upscale residential neighborhoods, they are ready to share their passion for shaping and teaching young minds with the community.
