Kiddie Academy Franchise Model Overview
Kiddie Academy franchises are year-round educational child care centers serving infants through school-age children, built to accommodate 140 to 220 children in a purpose-designed facility. Most franchisees lease a build-to-suit building; the franchisee's own outlay then runs from the high six figures to about a million dollars for fees, playground and classroom equipment, technology, signage and working capital, while a purchased site pushes the all-in cost into the multi-millions. Fees are a 7 percent royalty and 2 percent brand fund. The owner or a guarantor must devote full time to the academy, which must also be under a state-qualified, full-time Director trained by the franchisor; every owner and the spouse of an individual franchisee sign guaranties. The system is almost entirely franchised and adds roughly 20 academies a year. Item 19 reports revenue, costs and gross profit for over 300 academies. Buyers pay a $25,000 to $50,000 administrative fee, and the franchisor can match any offer.
