Childrens Lighthouse Learning Centers Begins New Year Primed for National Expansion

Leading Educational Child Care Franchisor Projects 29 Percent Growth in 2011

Fort Worth-based educational child care franchise company Childrens Lighthouse Learning Centers(CLLC) has announced plans to break ground on eight new properties this year.  The addition of these franchise facilities will bring the company’s U.S. presence to 36 full-service child care locations, a 29 percent expansion.

CLLC provides education-based child care services to children six weeks to 6 years of age, as well as after-school care for children up to 12 years old.  The new properties will be located in Houston, Texas; Frisco, Texas; Katy, Texas; San Antonio, Texas; Parker, Colo.; Fairfield, N.J.; Woodbridge, N.J.; and Charlotte, N.C. 

 "We are excited about our continued national expansion,” said Stephen Dixon, Director of Franchise Development for CLLC. "There are hardworking parents and families who deserve to have quality child care that is safe, engaging and educational - our goal is to deliver that service.”

With the child care industry named by Entrepreneur magazine as one of the fastest-growing franchise sectors in 2011, demand for CLLC’s services are stronger than ever.  Studies by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and U.S. Department of Labor mirror these findings, with reports showing that education-based child care will expand faster than the overall day care services industry. 

Established in 1997, CLLC maintains a zero percent franchise failure rate.  The child care chain has thrived by ensuring each center follows four basic tenets: provide affordable and educational care; maintain a fun environment; utilize a proven curriculum; and build locations convenient for families. 

These guidelines have also made CLLC franchises a quality investment opportunity for entrepreneurs and other individuals looking to create a more impactful career for themselves.
