The children’s education industry is one of the fastest growing business sectors around the world. A FasTracKids franchise offers parents and children in your community a special opportunity to develop key school readiness and life skills. Confirmed by independent research, FasTracKids helps children progress the equivalent of up to one or two grade levels in just six months.
Children interact with a unique combination of technology called the FasTrack Learning Station®. Teachers guide the children in discovering topics such as Astronomy, Natural Sciences and Economics while encouraging them to express themselves creatively, solve problems and communicate effectively. Part of a FasTracKids class is dedicated to helping children describe what they’ve learned in a video-taped presentation to their peers. As they continue through the program, their self confidence blooms.

What kinds of FasTracKids franchises do you offer?
FasTracKids offers five types of franchises: Enrichment Center, School, Area Developer, Master Franchisor and Language.
The information set forth on this website, including the selection of FasTracKids programs described, the independent research studies and the description of the training and other support provided to franchisees all relate to FasTracKids' Enrichment Center and school franchises.
An Enrichment Center franchise grants a franchisee the right to operate the eight FasTracKids programs.
A School Franchise grants a franchisee with the right to operate some or all of the eight Enrichment Center franchise programs through that existing business on terms that may be similar to the Enrichment Center franchise.
An Area Developer franchise grants a franchisee the right to represent FasTracKids by identifying qualified franchisee prospects in a specified area and providing levels of support to franchisees within the area. Area Developers receive a commission based on franchise sales and royalties paid by franchisees in their area.
Individuals or companies may qualify to become a Master Franchise within a specific territory. A Master Franchise grants a franchisee the right to promote and assist in the development of FasTracKids franchises within a specific territory that is typically an entire country. A Master Franchise is only offered in select countries.
The FasTrack Language Center franchise grants a franchisee the right to offer a unique program for teaching English to early learners as a second or foreign language. This program is not included in, and is different from, the eight programs offered through an Enrichment Center and is offered under a different franchise agreement. Utilizing the FasTrack Learning Station, children interactively learn American English with consistent pronunciation and intonation.
