Kiddie Academy® Educational Child Care, has long been a favorite option for veterans looking to own a business after their military careers have concluded. We’re currently ranked #35 on Entrepreneur’s most recent list of Top Franchises for Veterans. The ranking reflects each company’s veteran incentive, how veteran franchisees are supported by the company and each company’s rank in Entrepreneur’s 2023 Franchise 500 ranking (Kiddie Academy is currently ranked #96).
Kiddie Academy is also a proud participant in VetFran, a strategic initiative of the International Franchise Association and the IFA Foundation. VetFran’s mission is to educate veterans and franchisors about the unique match between the skills and aptitude of entrepreneurial veterans and the demands and opportunities of being a franchisee. As a VetFran participant, Kiddie Academy offers qualified veterans a reduction of up to $25,000 on their initial franchising fee.
“A military background is ideal for the structure and leadership qualities required to operate a successful Academy,” said Joshua Frick, president of Kiddie Academy Domestic Franchising, LLC. “We’re proud to continue offering the VetFran discount to our veterans to thank them for their selfless service to our country on Veterans Day and every day.”
