We start with assisting you in all stages of site selection and preparation. We work exclusively with a national commercial real estate company who provides us with viable site options across Canada. We help apply for the appropriate licenses and will also help negotiate the terms of your lease.

As a franchise owner, you will also have access to our team of engineers, architects, designers, project managers and construction specialists who will assist in each stage of your school build.

Before a site is selected, demographics and psycho graphics of the nearby commercial and residential neighborhood will be analyzed. Commuter routes will also be studied to optimize your chance for success.

Each of your teachers will be able to enroll in the unique CEFA Certified Teacher training where they are given the tools to be successful with our curriculum and be able to inspire others with the CEFA program.

While your school gets ready and teachers get trained, we start working with you in marketing the school to get your enrollment in place. This involves building strategic relationships and investing in some advertising.

Testimonials

“One of the beliefs that CEFA has is really to empower and inspire the children to learn. Our schools are full of diversity and creativity. The employees at CEFA go above and beyond their call of duty and it clearly shows throughout all the schools.”
Ginny Lam; CEFA Richmond Franchise Partner

“As a licensed Early Childhood Educator specializing in special needs and Infant Toddler, I understand the benefits of the CEFA program. The first time I visited a CEFA school, I was amazed. It’s different from all other centres, with classrooms for every age group equipped with developmentally appropriate toys, cinema room’s decorated with twinkling stars and in-house chef’s. I couldn’t imaging working anywhere that doesn’t have the same magical feeling that CEFA provides.”
Karen Chan; Franchise Partner of CEFA Canada Way and CEFA Kingsway
