Operations | Superior Business Model � You manage Kidz On The Go� from home, but you offer programs at existing facilities (Childcare Centers, Pre-Schools, Public and Private Elementary Schools, Camps, Special Events, Private Parties, etc.). This means that you are offering an additional service to someone else's established customer base. Kidz On The Go� is attractive to them because you offer a unique mobile, complimentary, turn-key enrichment program. For you, overhead is low because you use their facility, and your "customers" are already in place. | - |

If you enjoy making children healthy and happy, and you are excited about growing your own business, a Kidz On The Go� franchise may be right for you! Rapidly Growing Demand - There are many key social and economic forces causing the market potential for Kidz On The Go� to expand quickly: Working Families - With both parents working in most families and a growing number of single parent households, some 70% of kids are in childcare or before and after school programs all day long. Inactive Children - Every year our children spend more time watching TV, playing video games and interacting with computers. Physical Education classes are being rapidly eliminated from many School curriculums. Studies have shown that this inactivity is the primary reason child obesity has tripled in the last 30 years. This in turn causes many medical and self-image problems, not the least of which is unhealthy lifestyle habits that last a lifetime. More and more parents and educators are aware of these risks and are searching for programs that will keep children active and help build positive attitudes and confidence about fitness and sports in general.
