Initial Franchise Cost & Support Fees

The initial costs consist of the franchise fee, training fee, and initial marketing fee, as well as additional components like the site development assistance fee and other administrative costs.

School Opening Costs

The cost to open a daycare franchise includes furniture, equipment, curricular materials, marketing materials, computer systems, security systems and other miscellaneous expenses.  These exclude real estate, which depends primarily upon building size, location, configuration, financing, and other details outlined in our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).

Post-Opening Costs

Why Invest in A BBIS?

Families are finding it harder to find high-quality early education and care due to a growing demand that often outpaces available resources. This is creating significant issues for families, employers, and communities, as the lack of accessible and reliable early education options can place parents in a difficult position and hinder workforce participation. Your dedication to providing an exceptional educational environment not only supports working parents by offering them peace of mind but also contributes to the overall well-being and development of young children in your area. This collective effort strengthens the foundation of the community, nurturing a generation of capable and curious learners well-equipped to excel in their educational journey and beyond.

The research-based and accredited programs offered by The BBIS enable your school to deliver high-quality and much-needed services within your community.

The need for quality early childhood education and care is evident and will only grow as more parents return to the workforce and need the support for their children.

The average operating profit for a BBIS branch is estimated $300,000 a year*

*Operating profit excludes interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, which vary widely

The BBIS provides you with the system to offer the high-quality early education and care that families and communities are desperately seeking.
