Through franchising, we plan to expand our philosophy with dedicated franchisees who want to help parents and their children grow into successful, well-rounded students. We realize that our success is dependent on your success and we will be with you every step of the way. From securing your location to opening of your center, our support team will provide guidance and advice. We're looking for franchisees who want to encourage each child's lifelong love of learning through art and music. With our schools at capacity, we know there's an opportunity for you!
