WHY OWN A
KIDCREATE STUDIO
FRANCHISE?
Owning a Kidcreate Studio franchise means enjoying many of the benefits of small business ownership, including leaving the corporate grind behind for a more flexible balance of work and home, taking control of your financial destiny and charting a path for your future, and creating a legacy that will serve your family and community for years to come.

FULFILLMENT
Owning a Kidcreate Studio offers you the dual benefit of a deep sense of purpose and a financially-rewarding career.

FLEXIBLE BUSINESS MODEL
Kidcreate offers a unique business model with the ability to bring our highly sought-after curriculum to child friendly businesses in the community with our mobile business, as well as the option to offer classes and camps in a beautiful brick & mortar studio location. If you prefer, you can start with the mobile business and add the studio on down the line!

COMMUNITY FOCUS
Partner with community bodies united in the fight against the decline of art education, and you can become a well-respected voice of change as the face of their local Kidcreate Studio.

RECESSION-RESISTANT
Kidcreate Studio is a one-of-a-kind experiential business that cannot be replicated by the online giants. Kidcreate Studio has thrived during the 2008/09 economic crisis and now COVID-19. You’ll sleep soundly knowing your new business is proven to be recession-resistant.

SCALIBILITY

STRONG PROFITABILITY
With the On-The-Go model, you can start generating revenues from your business almost immediately. Ongoing overhead costs are kept extremely low for impressive profit margins. The ability to add a brick and mortar studio down the line creates additional revenue streams and cross marketing.

I liked the idea of owning a Kidcreate, but when I saw the financials, I loved it. Now as an Owner, I love this business even more.

A SURGING INDUSTRY
As more U.S. schools lose funding for art education programs, there is a growing demand for children’s art enrichment programs across America.
Here’s why customers continue to seek out local Kidcreate Studio locations to help provide their children with a fun yet educational extracurricular ongoing art education:

DEMAND FOR ART
61% of people strongly agree that the arts are part of a well-rounded education for K-12 students.

ART ED BUDGET CUTS
Public art education is increasingly facing a supply issue due to the current administration’s proposal to cut $9.2 billion from the federal education budget.

LACK OF RESOURCES
A study of 1,001 public school teachers in grades 3-12 found that schools are shifting time and resources towards math, and away from art, music, and social studies.

CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT
Research indicates that exposure to the arts can lead to a more rounded development throughout childhood, including advanced cognitive skills, specific spatial-temporal skills, and school readiness.
With declining supply and increasing demand, Kidcreate Studio is uniquely positioned to fill this unmet need.
Our multiple revenue streams tap into three growth segments within the child services industry:

EDUCATION & TUTORING
Currently a $102.8 billion segment, education and tutoring has been referred to as a “recession-resistant” industry, due to the fact that parents tend to prioritize their spending on goods and services for their children, even in times of economic downturn.

BIRTHDAY PARTIES
As parents increasingly look into innovative and unique ways to celebrate their child’s special day, birthday parties have grown into a $25 billion industry. Imagination-fueled parties at kids’ art centers like Kidcreate Studio are becoming the preferred choice for parents who seek creative, outside-the-box celebrations for their children.

VACATION CAMPS
Though summer and school vacation camps are often dismissed as a low-revenue segment, data proves otherwise. Kids’ school vacation camps have evolved into a $3.5 billion industry, with the average U.S. parent spending just under $1,000 per child each year on camps when school is not in session.
