Our franchisees are at the heart of this mission, and we’re proud to support their success.”The record-setting third quarter builds on the brand’s strong mid-year momentum, which included multiple school openings, groundbreaking events, and the expansion of corporate infrastructure with a new headquarters designed to better support franchisees.“From opening new schools and breaking into new states, to building out our support systems, everything we’re doing is about laying the groundwork for sustainable, long-term growth,” Kelton said. “We’re on track to meet our 2025 franchise development goals, and we’re confident that the best is yet to come.”To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://childrenslighthousefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=childrenslighthouse-q3-2025-growth-2730534" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://childrenslighthousefranchise.com/</a>.About Children’s LighthouseThe Children’s Lighthouse brand was established in Fort Worth, Texas in 1997.
