Their journey to Ivybrook began with a very personal inspiration — the desire to create a safe, nurturing, and academically enriching environment for their own child. As parents, they understand how vital early childhood education is, and they’re excited to bring another high-quality childcare and preschool option to the Tampa Palms community.
Duran is an Army veteran who brings strength in leadership and discipline, backed by a degree and professional experience in finance and business administration. Jade, a dedicated healthcare professional, offers a wealth of clinical and operational expertise with a strong focus on compliance and safety — ensuring every child is cared for in a secure and structured environment.
