Becoming a Franchise Owner is an exciting journey that requires confidence, knowledge, and the right support system. From the very start, our Learning & Development (L&D) team is here to ensure every new Franchise Owner has the tools to thrive.
A Strong Start with Comprehensive Training
Our onboarding programs are designed to set you up for success. Through virtual and in-person sessions, you’ll learn everything from operational best practices to leadership skills. These interactive experiences include:
- Real-world scenarios and roleplay exercises
- Group discussions for problem-solving
- Networking opportunities with fellow Franchise Owners
Continuous Learning & Community
After you open your Academy, our L&D team hosts regional trainings throughout the year, providing an opportunity to keep up-to-date on the latest best practices and to connect with other Franchise owners in your area.
Our comprehensive Learning Management System, Kiddie Academy University (KAU), gives you access to high-quality self-paced training anytime:
- Virtual 360-degree environments for immersive learning
