Section I – Background Information

Two Brothers Set Out to Educate Children

Children’s Lighthouse Learning Centers was started by brothers Mike and Pat Brown in 1997 in Fort Worth, Texas. The Browns started Children’s Lighthouse as a way to raise the level of educational support for children ages six months to 12 years.

Prior to opening the first location, Mike Brown spent years doing research on the education industry and met with different people who worked in education. After refining his idea, Mike invited his brother Pat to join him in starting Children’s Lighthouse.

The learning centers were immediately successful, and the Browns continued to open new locations in the Dallas/Forth Worth area. Children’s Lighthouse began franchising in 1999. Today, they have 40 locations throughout the United States.

The Browns still remain with the franchise with Pat serving as the company’s President and Mike as the CEO.

Expanding the Franchise

2016 was a successful and busy year for Children’s Lighthouse. The company opened four new centers in Birmingham, Alabama; Overland Park, Kansas; and Lewisville and Fulshear, Texas.

In addition to the new openings, Children’s Lighthouse signed 12 new franchise agreements. The company now has 30 new franchises in development. Their plans for 2017 are to open 12 centers in cities such as Denver, Orlando, Houston, and Chicago.

New Consultancy Team to Aid Company’s Growth

To build upon the franchise’s recent growth, Children’s Lighthouse hired a new team of consultants. The company says that the new team will spearhead franchise growth by offering their assistance and expertise to supplement the current teams and processes within the organization.
