For 20 years, Toral ran a boutique law firm in Florida, while also staying involved with his local church. In 2016, he felt a calling to leave his firm behind and start a church of his own, which he did in 2017.&nbsp; Toral ran his new church in Palm Beach, Florida all the way up until 2020. It was then that COVID-19 hit and forced the church to close. Luckily, Toral had previously purchased two secular preschools and realized that his ultimate calling was there.When Toral and his wife took over&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/neighborhoodkids">Neighborhood Kids</a> in 2019, it may have had no website or marketing, but it did have many loyal families. One of the things they did when they started out was create a culture that aligned with their Christian values, including “love your neighbor as yourself.” “If we could impart no other value than love, we feel that we have succeeded in that child’s life,” Toral said.&nbsp;Going forward, Toral hopes that in the next 20 years, there are 1,000 Neighborhood Kids locations all over the country.You can listen to the full interview&nbsp;<a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-franchiseu-86539266/episode/episode-37-frank-toral-neighborhood-kids-108521416/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-u-how-frank-toral-found-his-true-calling-with-neighborhood-kids-2721504" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.&nbsp;<h4>ABOUT NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS:&nbsp;</h4>Neighborhood Kids got its start as a preschool established in Wellington, Florida, in 1978.
