Top Reasons to Own a Creative Gardens Franchise:

Our Curriculum

Creative Gardens is the ONLY daycare/preschool franchise with curriculum jointly researched and developed by Creative Gardens and Gymboree Play & Music – the original play-based learning program and a trusted global leader in early childhood education. Our curriculum supports children through their entire daycare/preschool journey, from 6 weeks to 6 years, creating a framework for future success in school and beyond.

The Importance of Quality Early Education

Parents understand the importance of quality care and early education. Working parents, especially, appreciate knowing that their young child is well taken care of and thriving in a fun, challenging environment.

High-quality care supports young children cognitively, especially with language skills, and socially, teaching cooperation and empathy. 


Demand Outpaces Availability for Quality Care

The daycare/preschool market is a robust industry. As of 2021, 12.3 million children needed a spot at a childcare center, and there were only 8.7 million available slots in licensed centers, a 34% gap. Since then, there has only been a 3.5% increase in licensed daycares in the US. (Childcare Aware of America).

A Rewarding Career

As a Creative Gardens franchisee, you can feel confident that you are supporting your community with a state-of-the-art facility and high-quality program, helping to close the gap between need and solution. You will not only embark on a rewarding career but, as a business owner and entrepreneur, will be afforded the flexibility to balance your work and personal life in a way not supported by a traditional job.

Unparalleled Support

At Creative Gardens, we take a vested interest in the success of our franchises, with comprehensive training at one of our corporate centers and ongoing operational support. We offer a proven business model and stellar brand reputation as a sister company to Gymboree Play & Music with its worldwide network and decades-long history of offering quality early childhood education.
