Building Kidz Worldwide: An Award Winning Educational Franchise That Combines Passion, Profits, and Innovation

Building Kidz Worldwide combines a cutting-edge curriculum, unique business model, and a dedication to social responsibility to shape the future, one child at a time.

In 2003, Vineeta Bhandari left a career in Corporate America. With her daughter recently diagnosed with juvenile diabetes, she envisioned a preschool that was completely child-focused, addressing their comprehensive development needs.

Building Kidz was born.

Vineeta grew Building Kidz to 5 schools by 2013. Over the same time period, Vineeta’s mission expanded from providing a safe and nurturing environment for her daughter, to providing the same to children in her immediate vicinity, to the far-reaching goal of touching the lives of a million children in her lifetime.

The genesis of Building Kidz’s second iteration was a collaborative effort between Vineeta, Sanjay Gehani, and Sangeet Karamchandani, the founders of the franchise concept.

By 2014, they had developed a plan to reach Vineeta’s vision while also expanding to 10 campuses. In 2015, the Building Kidz franchise concept launched, helping like-minded individuals engage in the early-childhood education industry.

The Building Kidz franchise offering stands out for several reasons, chief among those being its flexible business and real estate model. Primarily offering care and education for children aged 2-6 years, franchisees have the option to extend their services to infant care and after-school care for children up to the 6th grade. This flexibility extends to real estate as well, as campuses are operational in stand-alone buildings, retail centers, converted homes, churches, and business complexes, ranging from 2,000 to 10,000 square feet.

At the heart of Building Kidz is an innovative approach to whole child development which uniquely integrates performing arts and learning through life experiences into a devel- opmentally appropriate curriculum . Focusing on emotional, social, cognitive, linguistic, physical and academic development not only guarantees superior care for our young ones but also enables higher tuition rates. We emphasize value, leading to industry-leading profitability for franchisees, rather than competing as the low-price leader.

At no expense to its franchisees, Building Kidz the franchisor uses 25% of its profits to help underprivileged children at home and abroad. Besides impacting the lives of children across the globe, this initiative allows us to connect deeply with our customers and the communities we serve and allows our franchisees and parents to have a strong societal impact that extends far beyond our campuses.

Building Kidz is far from the traditional 'cookie-cutter' franchise offering. Our franchisee-centric model allows for a range of investments and franchisee individual risk profiles, all while maintaining our dedication to providing a worldclass early educational experience.
