Why Choose A Place to Grow?
Now, more than ever, a parent’s heart desire is to have a safe and nurturing environment for their children while away from home. Since 2005, A Place to Grow has evolved to encompass a whole child approach to education. A Place to Grow offers a safe place for kids to be kids, while providing an enriching early learning center that embraces a child’s overall well-being. We achieve this by cultivating a sense of community with the whole family, teaching students healthy lifestyle choices and connecting with nature. A Place to Grow’s child-centered classrooms are thoughtfully designed to create natural environments for children to explore messy play, building and construction, cause and effects, imaginative play, along with music and movement. Eco-friendly indoor and outdoor environments offer a greater connection to nature, encourage sustainable living, and reduce the school’s carbon footprint. If you are a passionate educator with an entrepreneurial spirit, A Place to Grow’s franchise offers you the opportunity to grow a sustainable, child-focused center within your community. We look forward to working with you to establish your place to grow.

Training and Support
We believe that providing progressive training and prompt support is vital to the success of your school. Your training will focus on a three-phase implementation for both sales and marketing, and curriculum and program delivery methods.
START-UP TRAINING
The franchisee, a director or assistant director, and one lead teacher will receive one to two weeks of initial training at our flagship location in New Hampshire. Start up training covers all administrative, operational, sales and marketing skills needed to start A Place to Grow franchise. In some cases, another location may be designated due to convenience or availability.
TRAINING AT YOUR LOCATION
We will provide an experienced trainer to provide on-site training for one week to assist in the commencement of business. During that time, they will be onsite to support and review an opening checklist of operations.
ONGOING TRAINING & SUPPORT
If you are successful, we are successful. A Place to Grow will guide and support you in all aspects of your business including operations, client relations, purchasing, the development of your marketing strategy and the design of your branded advertising materials. We will also continue to research successful methods and techniques for franchise operations to enhance each franchise’s methods of education and profitability potential. To support success across A Place to Grow’s network, each franchise owner is required to attend a maximum two-day “refresher” training each year.
Ideal Candidate
