OUR BRAND STORY

The Academy for Young Achievers: An Education Franchise with a Mission

Every child deserves a high-quality education and dedicated support to help them develop and reach their full potential. The Academy for Young Achievers was built with this mission in mind. Recognizing a need in their community, our co-founders, Tori Brown and Dr. Keristen Brantley, teamed together to provide early educational opportunities to underserved communities. With an educational approach that combines the best of the Montessori Method and The Creative Curriculum© with a focus on key STEM subjects, they founded The Academy for Young Achievers, making children’s development a priority. Dedicated to supporting education, we work with parents to help them find subsidies and funding. This approach resonates with the parents in the communities we serve. It’s aided our growth as a brand and positions The Academy for Young Achievers for future expansion in the early education franchise business.

Meet Our Team!

The A4YA Co-Founder Tori Brown

2019 - Present

When co founder Tori Brown became a young parent, she encountered firsthand the challenges faced by parents seeking high-quality educational opportunities for their children. The experience shaped her career and guided her own development as a teacher and administrator.

With degrees in Early Childhood Education and more, Tori taught at, managed, and ultimately owned and operated multiple childcare businesses.

In 2019, Tori teamed with her longtime friend Dr. Keristen Brantley to take over ownership of a preschool on the northern edge of Indianapolis. The pair rebranded the school to The Academy for Young Achievers and focused on creating the kind of educational environment Tori always envisioned.

Today, Tori continues to guide The Academy for Young Achievers as we expand into new territories and bring educational opportunities to communities nationwide.

The A4YA Co-Founder Dr. Keristen Brantley

2019 - Present

Co-founder Dr. Keristen Brantley faced her own educational challenges on her way to becoming a board-certified diagnostic radiologist and real-estate specialist. Her friend Tori Brown’s views on equal educational opportunities resonated with her, and as Keristen continued to build a career, she kept an eye out for the chance to put those views into practice.

In 2019, Keristen and Tori went into business together. Their partnership transformed an existing preschool into The Academy for Young Achievers, a school dedicated to providing early education access to underprivileged children.

Dr. Brantley’s entrepreneurial spirit is part of our brand’s foundation. She supports our education franchise as we work to expand early education access in every community we serve.

Industry Data

Essential Facts About the Early Education Industry

The U.S. early childhood learning centers industry has grown in recent years to reach over $22 billion in size.1

The growth of the early education industry aligns with the increasing attention paid to education during childhood, with a growing body of evidence pointing to the first five years of life as critical to long-term development.2
As early education’s benefits become more apparent, the need for equal education access grows. Children in low-income families often experience delays in development and have been shown to benefit from center-based early childhood education.3
