Children’s Lighthouse Ranked No. 292 on 2024 Franchise Times Top 400 List

FORT WORTH, TX — Children’s Lighthouse, the early education franchise with 70-plus locations across the U.S., has been ranked No. 292 on Franchise Times’ 2024 Top 400 list. Climbing nearly 20 spots from last year’s ranking, the franchise stands alongside some of the biggest names in the industry, including Burger King, Domino’s and Planet Fitness.

The Franchise Times Top 400 list is a prestigious ranking derived from a combination of companies’ voluntary reports and their most recent Franchise Disclosure Documents. To qualify, companies must be legally recognized as U.S.-based franchises or have at least 10% of their total units located in the United States, with a minimum of 15% of the company’s total units franchised. Eligible franchises are then evaluated and ranked by global system-wide sales.

“We’re proud to have been recognized on this year’s Franchise Times Top 400 list, and the progress we’ve made since last year’s ranking is certainly reflective of what’s going on in the system,” said Matt Kelton, vice president of franchise development. “As our footprint steadily expands, we continue to bring high-quality early learning care to the communities we enter.”

Since its 1999 introduction to franchising, Children’s Lighthouse has maintained the highest quality standards of care and support for its franchise partners and client families alike, consistently differentiating itself in a high-demand market.

“Our ranking is a testament to the hard work of our corporate team, support staff and local franchisees,” Kelton said. “With the commitment of the entire system, Children’s Lighthouse will continue to grow and thrive as we work to expand throughout the Southeast and beyond.”
