Gymboree Play & Music Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2024

Background

For over 45 years, our brand has been sparking a love of learning with millions of families around the world, with research-based play programs designed by experts. Whether it's our Home Office team or our franchise community, the Gymboree Play & Music brand has proven expertise in early childhood education and franchise management.

With Gymboree Play & Music franchise ownership, you get the small business owner experience, but with the added benefits of a big business network. As a franchise owner you have the autonomy to create your class schedule and assign roles to your team, plus the flexibility to establish a work-life balance.

Our custom curriculum supports "whole child" development and is uniquely created around the 3 keys to early childhood learning (social/emotional, cognitive, and physical). The curriculum has been fully created for you, but we encourage our franchisees and teachers to bring their own flair and style to their classes. We offer a robust initial franchise training where we "train the trainer", so that you feel confident going back to your location and training your teachers. Plus, there is ongoing support from our training team for you and your teachers. As a global brand, families can feel comfortable that their experience will be the same no matter where in the world they attend a Gymboree Play & Music class.

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees.
