About me
I'm Ivonne Arana, born in San Juan, Puerto Rico and my path has always circled back to connection, purpose, and growth. My journey began as a child singer in Puerto Rico’s entertainment industry, where I learned discipline, creativity, and how to connect deeply with people, skills that later shaped my work as a Montessori teacher and eventually, a preschool owner.





Behind every school is a story of love, work, and change. I guide you through it

Before entering education, I graduated from the University of Miami with a Bachelor’s degree in Communications and later earned my Master’s in Montessori Education from Barry University, along with AMS certification to teach children ages 3–12. These experiences gave me a unique blend of communication, educational insight and practical understanding of how schools truly function.
Selling my own school in 2020 was bittersweet. It taught me how personal these transitions are not just business decisions but emotional chapters in people’s lives. That experience, combined with years in real estate and early childhood education, has shaped the steady approach I bring to this work today.
Through Mindful Bloom Ventures, we help buyers and sellers navigate the process of purchasing or selling a preschool with clarity and honesty. My expertise includes school valuations, market positioning, licensing guidance and structuring deals that honor both the financial and human sides of a school. Integrity matters deeply to me, especially in an industry built around children, families and the educators who show up for them every day.
I believe every school carries a story and every owner deserves to feel supported, informed and guided as their story evolves. My role is to hold that space with care, professionalism and the same heart I once brought into my classrooms.
