One of the hallmarks of Goddard’s success is our owner/operator business model that requires you to be on site in your first Goddard School location. With a robust support team to help guide you and your staff, coming to work in your School will be a pleasure!

Not at all! The Goddard brand is centered on fostering a love of learning for our students and  our franchisees who come from a variety of industry backgrounds. Our team of business and education experts will work with you to understand and create a fun learning environment for the families in your community.

While it varies from market to market. In 2022, the average school that has been open for 18 months or longer has an average EBITDA of $465,000.

EBITDA stands for Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization

You will be assigned a real estate manager to assist you throughout the real estate process. If you do not already have a relationship with a commercial real estate broker, we’ll help you connect with one who understands our location requirements. The bottom line is we will be there to guide you every step of the way.

Goddard’s team of expert business, education, and franchising professionals are here to help you through every step of your franchising journey. In addition to assistance with site selection and financing decisions, we’ll provide you with intensive initial training via a blend of virtual and in-person sessions at our corporate offices or at another training site, as well as online coursework in marketing, operations, management, and education methods of a Goddard School.

Goddard is happy to provide a discount of $20,000 on the initial license fee for a first franchise to honorably discharged veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces.
