Owner's Story

Dani & Bruce Humphries | Owners

The Humphries have a passion for customer service, community involvement, and making a positive impact on the lives of others. The philosophy of having a servant’s heart has guided Bruce throughout his career. After 28 years with Publix, Bruce retired and continues to enjoy serving others through community involvement and his church. He serves on the Cobb Schools Foundation Board and leads several small groups within the church. His compassion for people has been the driving force behind his success and commitment to serving others.

Dani has been called “the baby whisperer” since the age of 10. She began working as a mother’s helper for a family with four girls, spending her summers as a live-in nanny until the age of 17. She holds degrees in Health Promotion and Education from the University of Georgia and a bachelor’s degree in Dental Hygiene from the Medical College of Georgia. Her educational background and professional experience in dental hygiene have given her a strong foundation in health, wellness, and caring for children and adults. After relocating to Cobb County in 2018, Dani continued working part-time in several dental offices, allowing her to balance her professional career with her most important role as “Mom” to Kason and Easton. She has served on the PTSA for her children’s schools, volunteers with the Allatoona Dugout Club, and remains actively involved in the community and their church.

As Athens natives, the Humphries have a lifelong love for the University of Georgia and enjoy cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs. They also look forward to “Family Fun Fridays” and “Fall Football Saturdays.” Whether grilling on the back porch, listening to music around the fireplace, or making memories with family and friends, they treasure time spent together.

The Humphries believe it takes a village to raise a child. As owners of Ivybrook Academy Seven Hills, they are honored to bring the “Ivybrook way” of learning to their community. Their goal is to create a nurturing, enriching school environment where children can grow into confident, curious learners while fostering meaningful, lasting connections among families. They look forward to partnering with families to make Ivybrook a special part of the Seven Hills community.
