Why Are Children Education Franchises on the Rise? What Are Your Best Options?

By: Eric Bell

 

Children Education Franchises

If you’re looking to own your own business and seek to make a difference in the lives of children in your community, then you’re in luck. Over the last 20 years, education franchises have exploded from a handful of tutoring and lesson-giving franchises to dozens if not hundreds of different franchises that are changing the way kids learn outside the traditional classroom.

Parents’ willingness to spend money to make sure their kids’ learning is up to par or ahead of their peers is not the only reason for the current growth trend. According to the US Census Bureau, the number of families with two working parents is steadily increasing, leaving the parents little time to assist with homework or other learning experiences.

This trend is not limited to children of school age. No longer is child care considered babysitting. Most child care centers have transitioned to centers for early education where staff receive extensive training in instruction geared toward preschoolers.

In addition, while there has always been a need for tutoring in reading, math and SAT/ACT prep, many newer education franchises are focused on enrichment rather than remedial or practical help. Having their students do well in school is no longer enough for parents who know that the college and career world has become fiercely competitive no matter the field.

What makes a franchise focused on child education attractive to many is that a teaching background is usually not required. So, if you like kids, have a good business sense and wish to give back to your community, one of these franchises may be a great option for you.

Kiddie Academy

With 200 franchises and currently serving nearly 23,000 children in 27 states, Kiddie Academy is one of the leading nationally recognized franchisors of comprehensive educational child care programs. Their business model has been proven over and over.

Franchisees benefit from extensive training not just at opening but throughout the lifetime of the business. A Franchise Consultant is also assigned to each franchise to assist with site visits, additional training and sharing of best practices. With a comprehensive business model, guaranteed support, and flexible weekday schedule, Kiddie Academy is a great child education franchise choice.

Tutor Doctor

Tutor Doctor is revolutionizing the tutoring industry by utilizing a one-to-one tutoring approach for students from kindergarten to college in the comfort of their own homes. With over 500 locations around the world, Tutor Doctor has changed the lives of more than 270,000 people by helping them achieve their academic goals.

They have received numerous awards including being ranked No. 1 In-Home Tutoring Franchise by Entrepreneur, Top 50 Franchises for Minorities, and Child Magazine’s Parents Choice Award two years in a row. Franchisees benefit from initial training, ongoing support, marketing support and a proprietary internet-based software system designed specifically to allow franchisees to run their business from home.

The Tutoring Center has more than 20 years of experience in the industry with more than 100 franchise locations.
