Child care is the fastest growing service industry in the country. Learning Center based child care will continue to expand due to the number of parents who prefer a more formal setting for their children before they begin traditional schooling. Today, nearly two-thirds of mothers with young children have jobs and this trend continues to grow. The minimum capital requirements for a franchisee are $150,000 in liquid capital and a net worth minimum of $500,000.
