Want to work with kids and run your own business? Think of children’s services, and businesses that offer sports classes, tutoring and kids’ parties often come to mind.

However, there are a host of other opportunities flourishing in the franchise world. Take a look at these four concepts.

4 ways to work with kids you need to know about

1. Baby classes

Just like soccer or tutoring sessions, baby classes aim to help a child’s development in a fun and engaging way.

Bloom Baby Classes provides activity classes that help strengthen the bond between child and caregiver.

Baby Sensory focuses on early learning and sensory development.

Baby Spa provides hydrotherapy and massage as a pre-cursor to kid’s learning to swim.

2. Swim schools

Some brands are delivering important life skills, such as swimming. The new franchise, Queensland-based Fish n Flips Swim School uses play to teach children to swim.

The more established Jump! Swim Schools chain is part of a bigger fitness and wellness organisation, Belgravia Kids.

3. Gaming

Games2U is a mobile business bringing a broad selection of tech-driven games such as laser tag and Scalextric car racing to schools, parties and events.

Bricks 4 Kidz is another leisure and entertainment franchise, with the goal of becoming the leading STEM education provider in Australia.

4. Memorable moments

A host of franchises are making a business out of recording moments in our kids’ lives.

Happy Pics is a family-owned and family-run photography business that creates lifestyle portraits of kids at childcare venues. Little Images also focuses on the childcare photography market.

MSP Photography photographs about 1.3 million pre-school and school students each year.

Tuesday’s Child, Impressionable Kids and Twinkle Toes all create framed keepsakes – sculptures of babies’ hands and feet.
