Parents
will not cut corners where their children are concerned. They have set high
standards for care and set out in search of a program with similarly high
standards. Franchising is a proven method of distributing products and services.
Franchising also is a great way to go into business for yourself because it
provides the best of both worlds - - the freedom of owning and running your
business, and the benefits of ongoing support of an established company that
wants your business to be successful.
The commercial child care industry is currently
generating annual revenues of more than $40 billion. The industry is expected
to grow in excess of 9% annually, reaching total revenues of nearly $60 billion
by 2005. More and more children under the age of 6 are in the care of someone
other than their parents. Hence, daycare franchising is a good choice.
