I finished all the "Year End" demonstrations and the kids were great! The parents were thrilled and I was so proud. I have had a wonderful year of Kinderdance® and I thank each of you for helping me through my first year. I had a great feeling about Kinderdance® when I first started researching it and now after my first year as a franchisee I couldn't be more pleased.
You changed my life in 1986! That's when I started working for Kinderdance® as a teacher in your company-owned locations. The programs and the concept were so outstanding that I decided to purchase my own franchise for the local area. I've watched the company grow from only a few franchisees to your present position where you have franchisees throughout the country and are a leader in your field. As a recipient of your "Franchisee of the Year" award, you have my vote as "Franchisor of the Year.
Opening a Kinderdance® franchise in New York City was extremely challenging - marketing and teaching via subway and bus rather than a car. After a year and a half, I have over 600 children enrolled in the program and employ three teachers. My dance experience was little more than a good sense of rhythm, and my corporate background was very different from educating young children. However, the thorough training and continuing follow-up support gave me the confidence and ability to teach the programs myself as well as train other teachers.
