Annie Hays

Welcome to Ivybrook Academy of Gahanna! I am grateful to be bringing Ivybrook Academy to the Gahanna and New Albany communities after learning about Ivybrook in 2020. I am passionate about early education and positively impacting children in their most formative years. I look forward to supporting children and their families and creating an unforgettable preschool experience and wonderful community for years to come. 

In my roles as a financial advisor and group fitness instructor I soon realized I am happiest when I am educating others and helping develop them to be the best they can be. Whether it is financial decisions, health and wellness or helping my thirteen young nieces/nephews and helping them navigate growing up, I am energized. In my newest role as a Mother, I am thankful I will have Ivybrook for her and be able to share it with the entire Gahanna community.
