One of the benefits that come with being a Kiddie Academy® Franchise Owner is having the chance to bring educational child care into new markets.
The demand for high quality child care continues to rise across the country, creating a unique opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs. By bringing child care to communities that need it, you have the ability to transform the lives of not only the children in your care but also of the families who are in need of that support.
In 2024, Kiddie Academy was able to break into two new markets – Herriman, Utah and Meridian, Idaho. At the helm are Franchise Owners Shardul Kaneria and Claire Wilson, both of whom have made a big impact already.
“When we moved from Australia to Salt Lake City, our search for quality educational child care in the Salt Lake Valley revealed a significant gap in the availability of high-quality options. Rather than seeing this as a setback, we viewed it as an opportunity to create something meaningful,” said Sharul Kaneria, Kiddie Academy of Herriman Franchise Owner. “Fast forward to today, Kiddie Academy of Herriman is proud to be the first Kiddie Academy in Utah. This journey has been life changing. My wife, Drashti, and I are deeply grateful for the opportunity to meet the growing educational needs of young families in our community every day.”
“Being first to market is exciting and full of dynamic potential,” said Claire Wilson, Kiddie Academy of Meridian Franchise Owner. “When you’re in a new market, brand building is critical to become a successful business. One of my first questions to families and hires in Idaho is, “have you heard of Kiddie Academy before?” The answer is almost always no, which segues nicely into being able to highlight the Kiddie Academy standard of care. It’s a privilege to introduce the Kiddie Academy brand to a new community.”
Franchising with Kiddie Academy is a great way to make an impact on communities across the country who are in need of high quality child care.
