Overview
Building Kidz provides preschool and childcare in innovative, effective, and fun ways. We don’t just keep children occupied and safe for a set amount of time; we go beyond that to deliver a truly transformational service that empowers children and instills in them a lifelong love of learning. Our mission is to create a local community where we challenge children intellectually—and encourage them to challenge themselves—so kids can spark and grow a lifelong interest in learning. Specifically, we urge kids to engage in the arts so they can develop their confidence, commitment, and character.
Our franchisees utilize our proprietary Performing Arts curriculum. We use this curriculum to fully integrate music, dance, and theater into our developmentally-appropriate and academic standards through classes and Broadway-style productions. Our philosophy appeals to parents who want their kids to have fun at preschool, but also want them to learn critical social skills, such as teamwork, public speaking, and performance.
Our work has been profiled on ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC. We have specific programs for school-aged children, for kindergartners, for preschoolers, for toddlers, and even for infants! By implementing specific programs for children of various ages, we can ensure our schools appeal to a broad array of parents.

History
Building Kidz was started to solve a need to care for a daughter. Our founder’s daughter was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at the age of four. As a mother and a hardworking, successful American, Vineeta Bhandari couldn’t provide the constant care and stimulating environment she wanted for her daughter while fulfilling her professional obligations of 60-hour work weeks.
In January 2003, Vineeta started our first preschool in Pacifica, California. Her daughter was part of the school for two years before she graduated and moved on to an elementary school. In those two years, Vineeta realized that she was not alone in wanting this type of program for her child. Seeing the demand for this type of daycare and preschool program, Vineeta decided to follow her passion and change the early childhood education industry.
Vineeta dreamed of using her program and services to help many more children and families. The Building Kidz family shared this dream and worked with her to open multiple centers in California and become a franchisor. Today, we are one of the fastest growing emerging franchisors in the United States. We go beyond profitably running a daycare franchising business; we commit ourselves to enriching the lives and education of all children. That’s why we dedicate 25% of our profits—at no cost to parents or our franchisees—to non-profit partnerships focused on improving the lives of underprivileged children!
