The Goddard School® was named the No. 1 Childcare Franchise in the U.S. by Entrepreneur magazine for the fourteenth year (January 2015) and one of the Top 200 Franchise Systems in worldwide sales by Franchise Times for the eighth year (October 2014). If those aren’t enough reasons to open a Goddard School, here are five more.
- Anybody can do it. Anybody from any background can become a Goddard School franchisee. The two things our franchisees have in common are an entrepreneurial spirit and a love of working with children.
- Our unique dual-management model takes pressure off you. Every School is required to have an education director who has a degree in early childhood education. The director is responsible for the curriculum, programming and teacher development, allowing you the freedom to run the business and develop relationships.
- We offer unrivaled support. The Goddard School Franchise provides franchisees with an extensive support structure, which includes support for financing, construction, training needs and more.
- Childcare is a recession-resistant business. Dual-income families are common, and the demand for quality childcare is steadily increasing. More than 15 million children under the age of six potentially require childcare (Child Care Aware, 2014).
- It affords a comfortable lifestyle. Many Goddard School franchisees earn a comfortable living, with an emphasis on living. Our franchisees are free to pursue their personal goals while benefiting their communities.
