Join Kiddie Academy® to Become one of Them
Becoming a business owner is no small feat. It requires discipline, patience, and an enormous amount of courage. In honor of International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating the female entrepreneurs within our community and highlighting what makes business ownership so worthwhile.
A recent survey conducted by Kiddie Academy® in partnership with an independent research firm uncovered that while starting a business comes with challenges, being a business owner is well worth it. Out of 500 female business owners, 91% feel fulfilled in their professional lives and 87% feel fulfilled in their personal lives, compared to 55% of those who haven’t made the leap. This can be attributed to things like having better work/life balance and more free time to pursue their passions.
At Kiddie Academy, the majority of Academy locations are owned or co-owned by women. This creates a strong, supportive and empowering foundation for other women who are ready to take the leap toward business ownership.
For Namita Shah, who co-owns Kiddie Academy of Gaithersburg and Kiddie Academy of Urbana (both in Maryland) with her husband, that foundation has played a critical role in her journey as a Franchise Owner. “Opting to work with a franchise like Kiddie Academy gave me the support and expertise I needed. From the very beginning, we’ve had the privilege of meeting incredible people who have enriched our journey.”
Another unique perk that comes with being a female business owner is having the ability to set an example for future generations, which 90% of survey participants reported as being important to them.
“Balancing my career and family life can be a whirlwind, but it’s also incredibly fulfilling,” continues Shah. “I love that my daughters can see firsthand what grit, determination, and creativity can create. Each day brings new challenges and rewards, and I’m grateful for every bit of it!”
