HOBBY QUEST is a curriculum based program that provides educational
enrichment activities for ages 5-15, as after school programs,
summer camps, birthday parties and more! Revenue opportunity
examples:
- Ability to provide after school classes as well as elective and
specialty classes during the school day
- Unique aviation program for STEM learning. STEM classes are
currently a huge hot button with parents and educators.
- Summer camp opportunities - camp directors seek out companies
that provide specialty programs that their counselors are not
trained in. Offering more specialty classes helps their camps stand
out.
- We receive referrals from all aspects of our business:
- a. School Directors - recommend us to other directors in and
around their districts
- b. Parents - look to sign up their children for additional
classes out of school, summer camps, advanced classes and private
lessons
- c. PTA Presidents - tend to share great ideas they've found,
like our classes, with other nearby parents
- Receiving repeat business from current customers. Once a
customer offers a program, they will continue to do so every
semester. There are new kids in every grade each year, and our
curriculum is constantly changing
- Many opportunities for year round business including weekend
programs, scouting events, workshops, juniors' classes, etc.
- Building relationships with customers who manage programming
for multiple locations
- We offer one of the most unique birthday parties out there, and
most of our birthday party requests come from our current
students.
- Teaching classes and activities puts you face to face daily
with your biggest consumer - kids!
- Customers will bring us in to teach educational enrichment
classes and workshops because we meet the strict standards for
government funded programs
The Customer Experience
At Hobby Quest, we pride ourselves on providing a level of customer
service that is unparalleled in our field. Since our customers can
become customers for life, and we strive to meet them in person
upon initial contact, there is a stronger relationship present. Our
customers having confidence in our responsibility, focus on student
safety and unique products and curriculum is one of our top
priorities.
A great part of this business is that we have 3 different customers
- schools, parents and children. For our school customers, we
ensure that our instructors show up on time, are prepared for their
classes and ready to teach.
The parents are thrilled when their children come home with not
only their day's project, but also the knowledge of what they
learned that day and how it relates to what they built.
Our students leave class each day having had a new, FUN experience
where they were given the opportunity to discover a new skill they
didn't even know they had. Our service is unrivaled.

experience in the children's enrichment field, and our curriculums
and systems are proven to provide success.
