#187 in Franchise Times’ Top 400

Kiddie Academy^® Educational Child Care continues its climb on the Franchise Times’ Top 400 ranking. We rank #187 on the 2021 list. Over the past four years, we’ve moved up 35 places in the ranking, and for the second-straight year, we’re within the top 200.

The Franchise Times index ranks the 400 largest franchise systems in the United States by systemwide sales, based on the previous year’s performance. In 2020, our company awarded 49 new franchise agreements and had systemwide sales of $298 million.

“It’s gratifying to see that we’ve moved higher yet again on this prestigious list,” said Kiddie Academy CEO Greg Helwig. “Our Franchisees and corporate staff truly stepped up during the pandemic to ensure 100% of our Academies remained open. When others see how the child care industry and our brand endured the challenges of the past year and a half, it contributes to the ongoing growth of our system.”

To date this year, the company has awarded 51 new Franchise Agreements, opened 14 new Academies and has secured 25 sites for future Academies. Kiddie Academy is on track to open over 30 Academies in 2022. Currently, there are 283 Academies operating in 31 states and the District of Columbia. We anticipate opening our 300th location in 2022.
