History
Like most small franchises, Kids R Kids has a humble history. In 1961, founder Pat Vinson and his mother, June, turned their family home into a daycare. They named this nursery Kiddie City. At the time, the concept of group childcare was revolutionary but necessary. This was an era when mothers were flooding to the workplace, leaving their children in the care of nannies and family members. For this reason, and because of the founders' genuine love for kids and a yearning to see them succeed, Kiddie City flourished.
With a few short months of opening, Kiddie City hired its first employee, Janice Whatley. Pat and Janice eventually fell in love and married in the winter of 1963.
Janice and Pat continued operating the preschool for 24 years, during which they expanded the center to include a private kindergarten. After more than two decades, however, they decided they wanted to restart closer to the city, so they sold Kiddie City and made their dream of building a school of their own a reality. In 1985, the first Kids R Kids opened its doors.
The need for superior childcare only continued to grow, and Kids R Kids along with it. Within 14 months of opening the first Kids R Kids, the family opened a second, and a then a third two years later. Operating three businesses proved to be stressful for the couple, though. Therefore, they turned to franchising. Pat and Janice incorporated the business and sold their first franchise in 1988.
Today, as the need for quality and compassionate childcare never truly goes away, Kids R Kids continues its slow but steady growth. It now has over 170 locations across the U.S. and one in China.
Ideal Candidate
Kids R Kids does not necessarily require a franchisee to have a background in education. Many of its franchisees come from a medical, business, engineering or corporate background. What the franchise does require is that franchisees have a love of children and a desire to empower and educate them. If you can honestly say you do, you may be a great fit for this company.
