How to Build a Discovery Point Child Care Business
Supporting Your Child Care Business Every Step of the Way
There is nothing more exciting than seeing a new business venture come to life. As you develop your Discovery Point child care business, you will be expertly guided and advised through every step of the process, from real estate to equipment set-up.
We make sure you are fully equipped to manage even the maximum capacity of children from day one. Our in-house support team has over 100 years of combined child care experience and can answer any questions you have during this time.
For over 30 years, Discovery Point has helped business owners develop quality child care centers that are safe, reliable, and lasting, both on the outside and the inside. We don’t cut corners when we open a new location, and we continue providing support for center owners throughout their journey of business ownership.
Real Estate
Although building an entirely new center from the ground up may seem like a daunting task, our Discovery Point support team has years of experience in site selection and the real estate process.
Our experts help you select a site that attracts families to the center—and keeps them there. Before a property location is actually approved, we study and analyze the property for months.
Our real estate support and services include the following:
Site selection management by a real estate team
Final site approval by the franchisee
Protected territories
Location within the community
Property size and zoning
Convenient, accessible, and visible location types
Analysis of competitors in the area
Strategic location in relation to elementary schools
One of the benefits of becoming a Discovery Point child care business owner is the opportunity to take advantage of this level of expertise. As a franchisee, you can own your property and the structure from the ground up, increasing your long-term equity and making your investment that much more secure.
