Goddard Systems Inc, the fastest growing pre-school franchise, opened its 300th school last month in Colorado.
The Goddard School provides communities with safe, creative learning environments for infants up to school age children. Goddard has been growing by 20 percent for the last five years and this consistent growth is projected to continue. But what else is going on within this franchise?
For starters, enrollments are at almost 90 percent and the commitments to open new schools are already filled for the next three years. The company plans to open 50 schools each year. The company’s philosophy, program structure and training are definitely working.
Goddard also looks at other ways its schools can be progressive. For example, in Northborough, MA the Goddard School decided to put in special energy efficient lighting to enhance the atmosphere for learning. The new lighting is also reducing the amount of electricity that is needed. Supporting renewable energy by offsetting a number of locations' electricity use with wind power is another commitment that Goddard has embraced. The 300th franchise school in Centennial, CO is one of the schools purchasing renewable energy credits (RECs) to offset 100 percent of the school’s annual electricity use.
It is encouraging to see growth like this during these challenging times. Goddard seems to be doing many things right with its steady growth and progressive investments. To learn more about Goddard School Systems, go here.
