    About KidzArt

    Shell Herman began developing the concept of KidzArt in 1993, hoping to bringing art programming to kids of all ages after discovering there were no national art enrichment programs available for children. As an "older" mom, Shell was concerned that many schools throughout the country were eliminating the arts and wanted to pave the way by engaging her entrepreneurial spirit, for her young son and for others. As a professional career counselor of 15 years, she also saw the need for artistic individuals to work in an environment that could support their interests and skills and allow them to earn a good living while nourishing their creative spirit. She also wanted children to have the opportunity to experience a confidence-building program that encourages creativity. In 1998, Shell teamed with childhood friend and exhibiting Master Artist, Chris Cruikshank to develop the KidzArt drawing-based fine arts program. Chris' sucessful drawing program was incorporated and KidzArt was franchised in July 2002. KidzArt is a drawing-based fine arts program offering classes, programs, workshops and a variety of creativity-oriented educational programs. KidzArt serves ages 3 1/2 to Senior Citizens (SeniorzArt).

    About Stemtree

    "Stemtree

    The STEMTREE franchise model offers education services that focus on the core curricula of science, technology, and engineering.
    STEMTREE’s programs nurture each student’s inner scientist through innovative, engaging, and hands-on learning experience, built upon a solid foundation of scientific curricula, giving each student the edge for success in today’s schools and the world.
    Whether achieving higher grades in the classroom, helping students become successful science professionals or engineers, or simply instilling and cultivating an appreciation and a deep understanding of science and technology, STEMTREE offers after-school programs, with or without student pick-ups, one-on-one tutoring, educational camps, home-school study programs, and even birthday parties and event-based programs.
    Stemtree was founded on the idea that nothing is more important than enriching the lives of others; now we want to extend that service to our franchisees.
    Stemtree has a strong potential ROI for a franchise owner. With reasonable overhead and a low startup cost for the education industry, the concept is financially sound. We do not guarantee any success or levels of profitability, but with a large margin for error, a franchisee can be much less effective than our projections and still have a successful business.

    STEMTREE’s business model requires a fixed commercial location comprising approximately 1,500 to 2,500 square feet of space.
