Looking Back at 2015… and Forward to 2016

2015 was a busy year for Childrens Lighthouse Learning Centers! Not only has our brand endeared itself further with the 40-plus communities we serve, but we also added four new Childrens Lighthouse locations in Cary, NC, Spring and San Antonio, Texas, as well as Chicago’s Irving Park neighborhood. These new locations represent an exciting growth phase for Childrens Lighthouse Franchise Company, which we look forward to expanding upon in the New Year.

Along with new openings and signed franchise agreements in a variety of markets, Childrens Lighthouse was at the forefront of media attention in 2015 as we continue to act as an expert source on the most pressing education and entrepreneurship issues of the day for consumers.

Childrens Lighthouse reached new heights in 2015 in widely read national publications such as the Washington Post, the Associated Press and Parenting Magazine, discussing the educational topics most important to parents and educators.

On a regional level, Childrens Lighthouse maintained a presence in community-focused publications and TV stations such as CBS 3 Charlotte, the Little Elm Journal and the Katy Times.

There’s no doubt that 2015 was a banner year for growth and media recognition for Childrens Lighthouse Franchise Company. For more information on Childrens Lighthouse Learning Centers and available franchise opportunities, visit www.childrenslighthousefranchise.com.

Influential Franchise Model

The Children’s Lighthouse Learning Centers franchise model has many benefits, including grand opening and ongoing public relations support as well as marketing guidance. With trained media professionals helping bring the focus to your new educational child care franchise, each franchisee has the opportunity to spread brand awareness with placements in relevant newspapers, magazines, TV shows and websites.

Children’s Lighthouse Learning Centers was recently profiled in the Chicago Tribune, the most influential media sources in the region, as an expert on how technology is shaping the future of education. The brand opened a Chicago-area location this year in the Irving Park neighborhood to the excitement of the burgeoning young parent population.

“The fastest growing trend that I see right now, both at school and in the home, is the move toward more portable, multiuse digital devices,” said Dr. Sharman Johnston, director of curriculum and instruction for Texas-based Children’s Lighthouse Learning Centers, in the article. “Teachers from pre-K through high school name laptops, iPads and electronic readers as the portable technologies with the greatest educational potential. Preschool teachers also favor digital cameras, calling them the ‘most valuable instructional technology tool.’”

Children’s Lighthouse Learning Centers across the nation are equipped with top-of-the-line in-classroom technology including iPads, Smartboards and even secure video feeds so that parents can watch their kids learning online during the day.

Because of the viral nature of the news, the Tribune article was picked up by the Utah Daily Herald and several parenting bloggers in the area who shared the story with their audiences. This is just one example of the influence that Children’s Lighthouse franchise owners can have on the educational landscape of their communities.

Children’s Lighthouse Offers New Retirees Rewarding Business Opportunity

Curtis and Jan Harvey, the owners of the Children’s Lighthouse in Heritage, a master planned community located in north Fort Worth and neighboring Keller, Texas, have owned and operated their center for more than a decade. The Harveys have been fortunate to witness entire families grow up at their Children’s Lighthouse Learning Center, including their own grandchildren.

  In fact, at the suggestion of their oldest daughter, the couple invested in the educational childcare center. She advised the couple to explore business opportunities that would allow them to spend more time with their grandchildren. Jan’s experience as a teacher and reading specialist combined with Curtis’ corporate background made the couple well suited to open a childcare franchise.

  The couple launched their educational childcare center shortly thereafter. The Harveys were attracted to Children’s Lighthouse’s commitment to creating a safe and secure environment where fun and learning come together. They were also excited at the opportunity to spend more one-on-one time with their grandchildren.

  For the Harveys, investing in a Children’s Lighthouse Learning Center has made all the difference in their retirement, and allowed them to grab hold of their personal and professional destinies. Each day, the couple has the opportunity to continue impacting the lives of children, even as their own grandchildren have grown up and graduated from the center. Looking ahead, the couple is excited to pass on their childcare center to their children, grandchildren or great grandchildren when the time is right.
