KING OF PRUSSIA, PA — Goddard Systems, LLC (GSL), the manager of The Goddard School® franchise network, announced it has signed 60 new franchise agreements so far this year, marking another period of strong growth for the early childhood education brand. The company is expanding into new territories, including its first school in Utah and a new location in Brooklyn, New York, both set to open in 2026.
More than half of the new agreements were signed by existing franchisees, reflecting continued confidence in the system’s performance, while 24 new owners will join the network for the first time.
The company’s franchise model is designed to help owners build profitable schools supported by consistent operational and educational standards. GSL said it is actively pursuing growth opportunities in high-demand states such as California, Texas, and Florida, as well as metropolitan markets including Detroit, Minneapolis, and Phoenix. The company is on track to surpass last year’s number of new openings, strengthening its position as a leader in the premium early education sector.
“What sets The Goddard School apart is the ability to build a thriving business with consistent performance while making a lasting difference for children and their families,” said Tim Linderman, senior vice president and chief growth officer at GSL. “It’s this balance of purpose and performance that continues to attract both new and multi-unit franchisees to our system.”
Founded in 1988, The Goddard School operates hundreds of franchised early childhood education centers across the United States, providing play-based learning programs for children from infancy through kindergarten.
