School franchisee.

arrangement and fees for these services have been rising steadily over
the past several years

the 10% range since 1999

$40 billion

these childcare demand drivers:

support you need to succeed.
Here are just two examples of the exceptional support you can expect.

facility in a suburban or metropolitan setting based on demographic
requirements. This means your school will offer convenience to the
ultimate customer – the families of Goddard School children — making
you an in-demand resource.
- GSI has developed its proprietary Goddard
Systems University (GSU),
a unique training program providing ongoing development for you, your
School's Director and your teachers. We cover topics such as Goddard
Quality Assurance standards, curriculum and program, health and safety,
hiring procedures, community relations and payroll control.

to providing the highest quality childcare in their communities, as
evidenced by each School's on-site management.
