Goddard is highly regarded in Ohio. There are not too many resales format for Goddard and when they do go for sale in the market, they seem to sell quickly. A lot more equitable for the operator if you also own your real estate versus leasing. As long as you follow the system, your business should do well in the right location. Make sure your demographics are properly and carefully studied. I also encourage business owner entering the childcare business to not "skimp" on salaries for the workers. You get what you pay for in the child care industry. Paying your workers minimum wage is recipe for disaster and a bad reviews on the internet which your prospective parents will review thoroughly.
