Overview

A global leader in children’s technology education programs, COMPUTER EXPLORERS is the perfect franchise for people who believe technology education is an important part of preparing children for the future.

COMPUTERTOTS is an early childhood education program conducted at childcare centers and preschools for children ages three to five. Their core purpose is to help build academic readiness skills in language arts, math, science, art and music using technology. They also introduce children to problem-solving and computer operations through educator-designed lesson plans and hands-on activities.

COMPUTER EXPLORERS provides educational technology solutions in private and public schools for students age six and older.

School administrators around the country are concerned about their studentsÍ performance on standardized tests. Research has shown that the more we use information, the better we retain it; COMPUTER EXPLORERS integrates core curriculum content as the basis for its project-based learning of technology skills.

As an example, if 4th grade students are studying the American Revolution in social studies, and are learning how to do multimedia presentations in the computer lab, COMPUTER EXPLORERS students would use information about the revolution as the content of their slide shows. Project content could include maps of the thirteen colonies, information about the author of the Declaration of Independence, graphs of cash crops, a recipe for cornbread, and drawings of musketsƒ with the slides enhanced by fife and drum music playing in the background!

COMPUTER EXPLORERS teachers meet regularly with classroom teachers to develop lesson plans in science, language arts, mathematics and social studies. We challenge our students to create projects that make use of multiple technology skills including:

Basic Computer Operations
Word Processing
Spreadsheets
Databases ´ Graphics
Multimedia Presentations
Internet Exploration and Research
Web site Design

Why Computer Explorers?

Based on projected growth, The Wall Street Journal recently ranked "Child Learning and Computer Centers" as the number one franchise opportunity available today. When you see what American families are spending on education, it’s easy to see why.

There are an estimated 74.7 million family households in the United States.
Approximately 74% of families use some form of childcare, making childcare a $60 billion dollar industry.
As parents look for ways to help their children succeed in school, they are spending more and more dollars at learning centers.
In homes with children, 2.4% of the household income is spent on education.
Education is a $623 billion industry. $96 billion is spent in the for-profit segment of education annually.
According to the Wall Street Journal, educational franchises have grown by 35% since 1989.
Analysts predict that education will be one of the leading growth industries of the 21st century.

So what does this all mean to you? As a COMPUTER EXPLORERS franchise owner, you’ll get in on the boom in education spending, providing a valuable service all the while. You’ll work as an extension of your partner schools, providing a turnkey program — software, curriculum, educators — to teach computer skills. Your students will be children of all ages, starting as young as three.

The opportunities in education are growing!

Are You a Good Fit for Computer Explorers?

You are in charge.

As a COMPUTER EXPLORERS franchise owner, your hours will be flexible, tied only to the school schedule. You'll be home when your children are and your holidays will be the same as theirs. Sounds like a good basis for a family business.

There are no daily commutes with COMPUTER EXPLORERS because you’ll work out of your home. And, your boss couldn’t be more congenial.

Most important, though, with COMPUTER EXPLORERS, you have a new class of pre-school and elementary school students entering the market every single year. Which means the potential for success is limited only by you.
