14 Things You Need to Know About the Children’s Lighthouse Learning Centers Franchise

Continuing Growth Throughout Texas

1.  During 2017, Children’s Lighthouse has continued its expansion across Texas, especially in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. As part of the company’s extensive franchise growth strategy, Children’s Lighthouse is seeking to grow its presence in the suburbs of Mansfield, Texas.

America's Most Lucrative Franchises of the Year

2.  According to the company, Mansfield is a great place for Children’s Lighthouse because the city is often “pinpointed as ripe for economic development.” The city’s population has more than doubled in the past 15 years with double-income and single-parent families on the rise. Additionally, waiting lists are at an all-time high in daycare centers throughout the south Dallas/Fort Worth area.

3.  Children’s Lighthouse has already opened a few new locations in Texas this year. Since summer 2017, the company has opened three new Texas learning centers — in Cypress, Oak Hill, and Keller. The Cypress location is owned and operated by Jessica and John Wilson; the learning center in Oak Hill is owned and operated by Julie and Michael Carter; and the location in Keller is run by franchisee Gigi Gupta.

4.  Stephen Dixon, chief development officer for Fort Worth-based Children’s Lighthouse Franchise Company, said, “Each of these Children’s Lighthouse centers will enrich their communities by providing the high-quality educational child care that is so important to parents. Our growth is a direct reflection of the dedication we have to providing children with the highest quality educational child care.”

Signed New Franchise Agreements

5.  Since the start of 2017, Children’s Lighthouse has pushed its nationwide expansion efforts. By June 2017, the company announced that it had signed several new franchise agreements in the following cities: Denton, Texas; Seabrook, Texas; Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina; Metro Houston, Texas; Oak Point, Texas; Cypress, Texas; San Antonio, Texas; and Summerwood-Lake Houston, Texas.
