As a franchise owner of a Creative World School, you are an active member of our community of owners and represent the brand in your local community. We seek owners who are passionate about children and early child education and who are excited to be on-site at their schools. To ensure your business success, each school has a 5-mile protected radius where no future Creative World Schools would be built. Our franchise business model offers one of the lowest franchise fees in the industry and minimal ongoing fees for the support you receive. Royalty fees start at 5% and are capped at 7% after two years in operation. Many of our owners are multi-site operators and we offer discounted franchisee fees for additional locations and for Veterans.

Your school is offered complete support from the corporate marketing team from the construction phase through ongoing operations. A full array of marketing materials are available to advertise specialty events throughout the year, and support is available to help design and place advertisements. Online advertising support is provided through the management of paid ad campaigns and social media management. A separate website page is provided for each school to aid in lead generation and an advanced CRM system is provided to manage communications with prospective parent leads.

In the child education industry, a typical day is anything BUT typical! In general, an owner could be meeting with a family taking a tour of the school, hiring and training new staff members, managing the finances, ordering supplies for the classrooms, driving the school bus with the children on a field trip, and so much more! One guarantee on a typical day is to be surrounded by the laughter of children and witnessing the moment a child discovers how to do something new! It could be the first few steps an infant takes, it could be the first few spoken words, or it could be building a tall skyscraper out of blocks. Anything is possible as a Creative World School owner!
