Why should you invest in Childcare and Early Learning instead of other industries?
Quite simply, the Childcare and Early Learning industry is virtually recession-proof because it is based around an essential need, not a want!
Just put yourself in the shoes of working parents with children.
What is the last thing you would stop doing if money was tight?
The answer is obvious. However much we enjoy our creature comforts, when money is tight, some things just take priority. And the biggest priority of every parent is their children.
Isn’t Childcare and Early Learning a highly regulated sector within the business world and our economy?
Yes, and so it should be. We are trusted with looking after and nurturing your precious babies while you go to work. You want to be sure that your children are under the care of qualified people who know what they are doing and who can nurture the social, spiritual, physical, and cognitive development of your children in these important formative years before they are off to ‘big school’.

So, although the Childcare and Early Learning industry is highly attractive for investment, could you imagine trying to grasp all of this on your own?
Fortunately, you don’t have to.
WHY EARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNING AND CARE?
A service in the Early Childhood Education and Care sector is one of the most rewarding businesses to own and operate, both personally and professionally. Fewer business opportunities can be as satisfying and rewarding as nurturing, developing and shaping our future generations. Every day our Franchisees, their team and our Support Office strive to provide children with the best possible start in life.
Quality inclusive care in the first five years of a child’s life is crucial to their development and wellbeing as, during this time, children learn at a faster rate than at any other stage in their lives. These years are a crucial period where children develop the foundations of their social, emotional, physical and intellectual wellbeing for life. Early Childhood Education and Care is critical to the employment of Canadian families, which in turn assists in driving economic growth, boosting Canada’s financial security and improving social, health and economic outcomes for families. The Federal & Provincial Governments continues to invest in the sector in the form of subsidies and incentives to Canadian families.
The Early Childhood Learning and Care sector is in high demand in key areas of Canada and is experiencing strong business growth.
