research on the importance of early-learning has
resulted in increasing demand for quality childcare
Today nearly 60% of children under the age of six
require childcare (15 million)
Entrepreneur Magazine named the child care
industry as the top franchise industry to watch in
2014

than ever
• When the economy is slumping women who have
chosen to leave their careers will go back to work

most well-known franchises*
