Based on a proven academic curriculum and a thriving classroom enterprise that was recognised in 2003 by Entrepreneur magazine as the “best of the best” in children’s enrichment education businesses, the new FasTracKids Home Study franchise offers an outstanding opportunity for sales focused entrepreneurs of all ages.

FasTracKids International, Ltd. was founded in 1998 to deliver enrichment education services to children aged three to six. Today, we have helped more than 160 licensees to educate thousands of children in more than 30 countries.

With approximately 10% of all UK households composed of children in the FasTrac Kids Franchise target age range, the company realized that, despite the rapid expansion of FasTrac Kids Franchise Academies worldwide, the vast majority of target-age children would not live near an existing Academy. What’s more, the company learned many parents actually preferred to deliver FasTrac Kids Franchise material to their children themselves, on their personal schedule and in the comfort of their own home.

By 2002, the FasTrac Kids Franchise Home Study Programme was completed, tested and successfully introduced in the UK. Parents who enrol in FasTrac Kids Franchise Home Study, typically spend one hour each week, over a 24-month period, helping their child to explore 12 exciting subject areas, such as mathematics biology, creativity, literature and economics. A typical family enrolment is £19 per week.

The FasTrac Kids Franchise curriculum uses the latest in accelerated learning techniques. Research has clearly shown that we all learn best through stories and each FasTrac Kids Franchise lesson will introduce new material interlinked with age appropriate characters and stories via a library of CD-ROMs. Parents also receive a 350-page interactive coaching guide, as well as exclusive access to the members section of the FasTrac Kids Franchise Parent’s Web site, which offers supplemental activities, exercises and ideas.

Children will also have continuous opportunity to apply what they are learning through practical activities and discussion opportunities with their parents. This unique combination of stories, discussions, practical activities and visual animations and games, ensures that both parent and child are enjoying the learning experience while spending special creative time with each other.

A Breakthrough in Enrichment Education for Early Learners

Franchise

More and more families are recognising the value of supporting their child's early learning at home and the many benefits this can have. Many of these families are concerned about overcrowded classrooms, overstretched teachers and general standards in education.

Your business will provide an answer for many of these families. You will develop a team of early learning advisors with education / sales experience who will visit with parents, usually in the home, and consult with them on how the FTK programme may help their child. Many of these families will become your clients and use the FTK home-study programme each week with their children.
