Why A Sunbrook Franchise
At Sunbrook, you may be in business for yourself, but you’re never in business by yourself. That's because the Sunbrook Academy franchise team is always there to help you achieve and maintain a position of industry leadership and excellence within each community you may serve. As successful operators of academies as well as franchisors, we understand the complexities, challenges and rewards of the business better than most. And we’re poised to help you achieve your goals through our industry-leading support in the following critical areas:
Unique Support And Trending
Ratios are important in our business. But most of the time, ratios relate to the number of students to teachers in a classroom. At Sunbrook, we take the issue of ratios to another level as well – we believe it is important to keep an industry-low ratio of Sunbrook Academy franchise locations to the number of operations support personnel. This means our operations support personnel are responsible to support fewer schools which translates into more one-on-one support for each Sunbrook Academy franchisee. In addition, each Sunbrook Academy franchise location receives a monthly visit from our operations support personnel. The industry norm is one visit per quarter. Finally, we collect and analyze Sunbrook Academy franchise reporting data on a weekly basis. Most other brands collect the same data monthly. By collecting data weekly, we’re able to stay ahead of changing trends and react quickly to dynamic market realities.
A "Core-Focused" Philosophy With Partnerships That Work
To us, its simple: do what you do best, and do it better than anyone else. That's part of our philosophy at Sunbrook and it guides much of our focus. To further provide a unique foundation geared toward franchisee efficiency and success in areas outside of our core focus, Sunbrook has partnered with industry leaders who provide development and support services ranging from site selection to financing to equipping your Sunbrook Academy franchise location. This strategy is implemented in ways that may actually help reduce costs and development timelines, further helping franchisees get academies open at a faster pace. Many brands have sought to dedicate internal resources to meet some of these critical needs, however, our experience has taught us that partnering with the most talented experts in the most efficient ways provides a cost-effective, dynamic and compelling competitive advantage for Sunbrook franchisees.
Attention To Detail
Come experience a Sunbrook Academy and look closely. You'll find that we’ve spared no amount of attention to every detail related to our beautifully-appointed academy campuses. With the founders' past experience of developing over 25 preschools, the details just don't get overlooked. And it's why you’ll find that Sunbrooks building design, layout and functionality are as innovative as they are simple and cost effective. Every school includes, among other things, a covered patio, a water play area, vast playground spaces, access controlled classroom closets, car seat closets, teacher lounges, separate computer labs for technology instruction and a "TLC" room available to students feeling under the weather.
A Foundational Approach To Learning
Foundations™ is Sunbrook Academy’s comprehensive education and development program and is the cornerstone of our learning philosophy. The quality early learning experiences that we provide for our children are guided by research-based knowledge and practice. Research provides the framework for our curriculum and our program is the culmination of our philosophy of early childhood education, our teaching and learning methods, the academic program, and all aspects that contribute to each child’s growth and development. Foundations™ is a full academic and developmental program that meets all State and National Early Learning Standards. Simply put, "we teach young children the way young children learn."
The Right People
Because of our leadership ad experience in the industry, we know that profit is a byproduct of engaged, impassioned and committed academy owners who love making a difference in the lives of children, their families and the communities in which they live. Thus, we go to great lengths to ensure that our prospective franchisees possess the right combination of motive, character, experience and capital prior to being approved to receive an award of a Sunbrook franchise.
Embracing A "We" Philosophy
Our franchisees are like partners... like family. Simply put, we’re all in this together and we take that philosophy seriously. We work with our franchisees to identify best practices, improvements and changes that further enhance the educational experiences for our students. With a history that includes no franchise failures, no loan defaults and absolutely no franchise litigation, it’s easy to see how important healthy, positive and profitable franchise relationships are to all of us at Sunbrook. A compelling value proposition – Is it really possible to get more for less? At Sunbrook, we’re proud of our franchisee-focused philosophy. We work hard to provide to you our experience along with tools and other services to help you maximize your business potential. And by partnering with expert third parties, we don’t have to charge our franchisees for the internalization of non-core departments and services. The result? An incredible franchise opportunity with a more cost-effective franchise fee and Royalty structure. Even more, Sunbrook is so committed to help each franchisee success that we waive Royalty payments for the first three months following your opening – something few franchisors have ever done.
In addition to these industry leading, value creating advantages, Sunbrook also provides the following to all its franchisees:
· Exclusive Territory
· Comprehensive initial and ongoing training
· Access to proven operational and business management systems and manuals
· Human Resources assistance
· Parent relations and resources assistance
