The early education and child care market is witnessing an unprecedented boom. Post-COVID, as people return to in-person activities and workplaces, there is an emerging wave of demand for after-school programs.&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lyricoslearning/info">IDEA Lab® Kids</a>, the education-based franchise with an emphasis on a cutting-edge STEM plus Arts (STEAM) curriculum, has seen a full-on doubling in terms of enrollment. Now,&nbsp;<a href="https://franchise.idealabkids.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=idea-lab-kids-franchise-system-poised-for-growth-in-education-sector-2723985" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">IDEA Lab Kids</a> gives franchisees the chance to tap into the booming supplemental education industry through a uniquely strong business model and consumer offering.<h2>A Thriving Market</h2>With schools noting&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lyricoslearning/as-students-begin-returning-to-school-award-winning-idea-lab-kids-after-school-programs-are-anticipating-exceptional-registration-volume-2719680#stories">increased demand</a> for supplemental education and parents eager for their children to catch up on missed opportunities during the pandemic, the industry stands at the cusp of a major growth trajectory.“The two key factors driving this surge are people returning to work and a strong preference for in-person learning experiences,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/devina-bhojwani-3452053?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=idea-lab-kids-franchise-system-poised-for-growth-in-education-sector-2723985" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Devina Bhojwani,</a> President of IDEA Lab Kids. “Moreover, the need for children who fell behind during the pandemic to catch up is intensifying this demand.”A disconcerting 80% of public schools reported “stunted behaviors and socioemotional development” in their students because of the COVID-19 pandemic,&nbsp;<a href="https://wmich.edu/publichealth/blog/2022/11/kurichh?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=idea-lab-kids-franchise-system-poised-for-growth-in-education-sector-2723985#:~:text=%E2%80%9CEighty%20percent%20of%20public%20schools,(De%20Leon%2C%202022)." target="_blank" rel="nofollow">a 2022 survey found</a>, with a “56% increase in lack of school work and 49% in early dropouts.” At the same time, a record-high 104,000 people missed work in October 2022 because of child care problems, surpassing even early pandemic levels, the<a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/child-care-covid-working-parents-2023/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=idea-lab-kids-franchise-system-poised-for-growth-in-education-sector-2723985" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> Bureau of Labor reports</a>.&nbsp;As a result of these overlapping societal factors, the supplemental education industry is growing rapidly, expected to reach a value of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/supplemental-instructional-materials-market-to-grow-to-4-6-billion-in-2024--301582681.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=idea-lab-kids-franchise-system-poised-for-growth-in-education-sector-2723985" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">$4.6 billion by 2024</a>. Today, over&nbsp;<a href="https://youth.gov/youth-topics/afterschool-programs?utm_source=1851franchise.com&amp%3Butm_medium=article&amp%3Butm_campaign=why-idea-lab-kids-could-be-a-great-choice-for-prospective-franchisees-right-now-2721964&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=idea-lab-kids-franchise-system-poised-for-growth-in-education-sector-2723985" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">10 million students</a> participate in after-school programs annually.<h2>Why IDEA Lab Kids?</h2>So, what makes IDEA Lab Kids stand out among competing supplemental education franchises? Bhojwani says it is all about the innovative curriculum. In the enrichment learning space, franchisees can stand out thanks to their unique STEAM-focused approach, emphasis on creativity, and easy-to-access remote instruction. No matter where a student is or how they best learn, their curiosity and intellectual development are fostered within IDEA Lab Kids programs.And unlike most other franchises, IDEA Lab Kids offers a comprehensive range of educational offerings under one roof — from cooking and coding to science and more. Whether it is for Summer and Seasonal camps, after-school programs or birthday parties, students can either attend an IDEA Lab Kids location or participate through IDEA Lab On-the-GoSM at their own school sites, libraries and museums.“The&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/franchise-deep-dive-idea-lab-kids-franchise-costs-fees-profit-and-data-2722797">costs</a> to get into this marketplace with IDEA Lab Kids are standard for education franchises, but it's our advanced and trendy curriculum that makes us distinctive,” said Bhojwani. “We cater to the entire STEAM marketplace in one location. Our curriculum is always ahead of the curve, and our internal platforms ensure the lessons are well-positioned. We make sure everything we do is robust and caught up with the trends in education.”As part of that strategy, IDEA Lab Kids is never resting on its laurels, Bjojwani says. “We are also growing our offerings, whether that be introducing crossword puzzles, critical thinking exercises or even&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lyricoslearning/lyricos-learnings-idea-lab-kids-embraces-artificial-intelligence-to-enhance-its-educational-services-2723079#featured">A.I. assessment tools</a>,” she said.For example, IDEA Lab Kids franchisees have access to a proprietary EdTech platform called&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lyricoslearning/lyricos-learnings-steam-on-demand-is-a-stem-plus-arts-platform-that-districts-and-after-school-programs-find-easy-to-roll-out-2722339">STEAM On Demand®</a> that provides interactive video-based content that they can use at their locations or on-the-go to teach hands-on STEAM lessons. Through another platform called STEAM DepotSM, franchisees can find the digital curation of all IDEA Lab Kids curriculum. There is no need for staff to print anything, while franchisees have everything in one place.&nbsp;As IDEA Lab Kids embraces AI, the brand has also been invited to join&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lyricoslearning/idea-lab-kids-selected-for-google-started-program-2723560#trending">Google’s StartEd program</a>, which is an initiative that supports EdTech companies by providing access to Google’s educational resources, tools and expertise. As a selected company, IDEA Lab Kids will be able to leverage Google’s technologies, like Google Cloud, Google leadership in AI and Google Classroom resources, to enhance its products and services.In addition to cutting-edge tools, Bjowani says IDEA Lab Kids prioritizes staffing and ensuring every location has the best team possible running the show. “That really makes a difference,” she said. “Most of these franchisees are very passionate about the education space — they want to bring this program to their community. We are very selective in our franchising process. We look for that great fit in our franchises, and it is shown in our classes, our locations and our staff.”<h2>A Look into the Future</h2>Their robust franchise system, combined with their cutting-edge curriculum, ensures that they are well-poised to capture a significant share of this burgeoning market and position franchise owners for scalable success.For example,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-gockley-a50a0522/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&amp%3Butm_medium=article&amp%3Butm_campaign=why-idea-lab-kids-could-be-a-great-choice-for-prospective-franchisees-right-now-2721964&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=idea-lab-kids-franchise-system-poised-for-growth-in-education-sector-2723985" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Adam Gockley</a>, the brand’s first-ever franchisee, is set to&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lyricoslearning/idea-lab-kids-first-franchisee-set-to-expand-in-austin-summer-2721928">open another location</a> after achieving “Austin’s Best After School Program” and seeing continuing overflow enrollment even during COVID.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tina-francis-mba-558b4126/?trk=pub-pbmap&amp%3B%3BoriginalSubdomain=ca&amp%3Butm_source=1851franchise.com&amp%3Butm_medium=article&amp%3Butm_campaign=pickering-mother-spearheading-growth-of-idea-lab-kids-in-ontario-due-to-lack-of-stem-options-to-teach-children-important-skills-2722529&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=idea-lab-kids-franchise-system-poised-for-growth-in-education-sector-2723985" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Tina Francis</a>, a mother of two, banking and mortgage professional and IDEA Lab Kids owner, has opened her&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/lyricoslearning/pickering-mother-spearheading-growth-of-idea-lab-kids-in-ontario-due-to-lack-of-stem-options-to-teach-children-important-skills-2722529#featured">second location</a> in Whitby, Ontario.Looking ahead, IDEA Lab Kids is excited to continue growing with both new and existing franchisees.
