KidStage is offering unique and fun-filled franchises. Our opportunity can be a home-based business in which you offer KidStage classes which actually take place in your local schools, day care centers, senior citizen centers, boys and girls clubs, YMCA's etc. No high costs of leasing or purchasing space. You will find KidStage a profitable and high-demand business.
KidStage is a complete "Performing Arts Learning Center" using ordinary classrooms as our "theatre" in which we teach children self-expression and creativity, as well as give them confidence through their participation in theatrical productions. With overcrowded schools, over-worked teachers and tight school budgets, the extra time and effort needed to help students is practically non-existent. KidStage was formed specifically to solve this growing problem. We have spent over 15 years developing solutions to assist in helping children.
The success of our programs has propelled us to the point that we are now offering Franchises in selected areas. We are seeking creative, enthusiastic individuals interested in establishing a successful business while at the same time making a positive difference in the lives of children. Most importantly, theatre experience is not necessary!
Monkey Bizness is an exciting concept in children's amusement where kids truly can 'monkey around'! With colorful, interactive and exciting play structures of all shapes and sizes, kids will never get bored of climbing, bouncing, swinging, sliding and basically-going bananas! We believe in providing wholesome, activity based facilities to get kids off the couch and exercising their bodies and minds. That's why you'll never find video games at Monkey Bizness, only the latest in super fun, super exciting interactive inflatables, play structures,climbing walls, and games. And, don't forget the toddlers' we've got a separate section just for the little ones. A successful franchise doesn't need to have a big name, after all, what does a big name mean to you if you don't have the freshest concept, best support and the ability to keep your facility up to date and competitive. Monkey Bizness started with the idea that in order to grow and remain competitive, we needed facilities that could constantly evolve, grow, and keep customers coming back year after year. We developed our slogan 'where kids monkey around' because we will always be a fun, exciting place for kids and parents to play, regardless of the attractions in our play rooms. We have developed relationships with equipment manufacturers in various industries to design the most physically exciting and visually stimulating equipment for our facilities, all the while keeping an eye out for what's next on the horizon to keep our concept fresh. Ultimately, that's the name of the game in children's amusement. And that is what we offer as a franchisor, a progressive business model that has proven itself against the industry's top competitors. So, you can choose a bigger name, but at the end of the day, wouldn't you rather choose a business model that brings kids through the door, not accolades from the latest business publication?
