Club Engage – The Ideal Franchise for Child Development Enthusiasts
Entrepreneurs know that working for themselves and being your own boss is one of the best and most rewarding sensations and freedoms. It gives you control over your business success and with the guidance of a franchise support system at your disposal, makes entrepreneurship much more attainable.
Stepping into the childcare field with a Club Engage franchise is like buying a successfully proven after-school and holiday childcare off-the-shelf business in a box. It is uncomplicated and all systems and processes are pre-set up and ready for you to simply take up the reins and put your best efforts into looking after the things that matter. You can focus on the key aspects of running your company, whilst leaving the brand and business development, operations, industry stakeholder engagement and marketing to be dealt with by the company’s “head office” and a knowledgeable team with integrity and a wealth of experience in making a positive impact on children’s lives. Franchisees are ensured all-round support, including additional access to HR, compliance, insurance and other services.
Franchisee benefits
The benefits of joining as a franchisee are many, according to Club Engage MD and Founder, Genevieve Allen: “First of all you will be part of a reputable and trusted brand with a track record of success and customer satisfaction. You will have access to our comprehensive and innovative curriculum that covers children’s academic, physical, social and emotional development. You will also receive ongoing training and support from our dedicated team of centre managers and me.”
As a franchisee, you will have the flexibility and autonomy to run your business while benefiting from the collective power of the brand and you will have the opportunity to make a difference in your direct community because you will be contributing to the education and well-being of the next generation.
The challenges
Every business has its challenges, and as a franchisee business owner, you will too. However, you will also have real freedom with the full support of the entire franchisor team to deal with these exciting issues. By working for yourself and setting your own goals you will reap the rewards of your efforts and not the dreams of someone else. Says Allen: “The hard work you put in will lead to your success! You are not alone and we don’t want you to be.”
According to Kay Vittee, Franchise owner in Linksfield, Brakpan and Centurion: “Finding the right skills and finding the right people is important. There are candidates with the right qualifications but not necessarily the right attributes when working with children. They don’t resonate with that passion and that ethos of what we require for the children,” We investigate significant resources in sourcing and securing the right people to work with.
