The People Who Will Support You for Life.
At Children’s Lighthouse, you’re not buying a franchise from a corporation — you’re joining a family. Meet the leadership team that’s been with franchisees through every stage, every challenge, and every opening day.
Second to None Support
A Team That Knows You by Name.
Unlike large franchise systems where you’re a number in a queue, Children’s Lighthouse franchisees have direct access to the entire leadership team — from the President to the Director of Education — by phone, text, or video, as frequently as needed.
Our support model isn’t a help desk. It’s a partnership. The same people you meet in Discovery Day are the same people supporting you five years into your franchise.

The Team Behind You
Our model includes the lowest ratio of franchised locations per support person in
the industry. That means you always have an expert — not an assistant — in your corner.
