About

BRICKS 4 KIDZ

We Learn. We Build. We Play with LEGO Bricks
Ranked #1 Children's Enrichment Program Franchise in Entrepreneur Magazine, January 2014 & 2015

The BRICKS 4 KIDZ model was founded by Michelle Cote in St. Augustine, FL. From 2005 to 2008 Ms. Cote was a freelance architectural draftsman until she realized the opportunity to educate children on the STEM concepts (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) by utilizing LEGO® Bricks. In the Spring of 2008 while filling out the forms to become a "School Board Vendor," teaching Spanish classes, Michelle noticed a category listed for "Creative Science." At that moment Michelle thought to herself “my son loves to play with LEGO® Bricks, I could lead a Creative Science LEGO® class too." Michelle was awarded the bid for both the after-school Spanish and the Creative Science LEGO® class. That summer Michelle advertised a Spanish Camp and a LEGO® Camp. She had 3 children sign up for the Spanish and 35 children sign up for the LEGO® camp!

After seeing the excitement over the LEGO® Bricks, Michelle decided to go with the LEGO® after-school class in the fall - and it took off. That fall, Michelle found herself at 3 different elementary schools with an average of 20 students in each class every week. Michelle’s involvement with Bricks 4 Kidz continues as she creates and designs new Bricks 4 Kidz project kits and theme-based models.

Today BRICKS 4 KIDZ has over 650+ franchises throughout the world, making it one of the fastest growing franchises in the US and Canada (and possibly the world). Bricks 4 Kidz has been ranked #2 Best Personal Franchise and #5 Best New Franchise in Entrepreneur magazine.
