I run a successful children’s business with no rent, no overhead, and a schedule that works for my family. Kinderdance is simple to grow because schools love the program and children light up when we arrive.
Kinderdance is uniquely positioned to thrive in any market. As the preferred choice for parents seeking high-quality, dance, movement, and fitness programs for their children the Kinderdance business model is easy to replicate from one childcare location to another. Children love to have fun and learn, making Kinderdance the perfect partner for their growth. With the joyous rhythm established in one childcare location, it's remarkably easy to extend the Kinderdance programs to more locations while efficiently managing a mobile and cost-effective business.
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.
