The High Rate of Franchisee Success

The numbers don’t lie, franchisees are set up for success. That’s why we have 4-star franchisee satisfaction rating* year over year, and why 45% of our franchisees end up owning two or more centers. TLE has also been ranked on Entrepreneur's Top 500 Franchises, Forbes' Best Franchises in America, and Inc 5000's America's Fastest-Growing Companies.

The Security and Stability of Franchising

The early childhood education and daycare industry has grown exponentially over the past decade. This is due to research confirming the strong and long-lasting benefits of early childhood education, a shifting workforce in which both parents work, and the booming population growth. That’s why over the next five years, the childcare industry is forecast to increase revenue at a compound annual growth rate of 5.0% — and why being a TLE® franchise owner is a smart move, especially with a company that’s demonstrated lasting growth and success.
