To give you a better understanding of what lies ahead in a Non-Franchise Preschool, you need to understand what freedom is and what it entails when it comes to preschool business.
Freedom can never be given to anyone, it has to be taken away.
This is the rule of nature, what is given to you, can also be snatched away from you at any point of time. So, whatever you want in life - take it. Mostly freedom, particularly freedom because it is our right to be free from all shackles that bind us and tie us down. Life is a one time experience and if we don’t have the freedom to live it in the way we want it then what is the point of living such a life?!
If there are rules or protocols that need to be obeyed or maintained then it cannot translate to complete freedom. That doesn’t mean one should throw away all rules and regulations out of the window. These rules and regulations are a necessity routine of discipline and we all need discipline in life. Without it, indeed, we will be free but we will never evolve, we will never become a better version of ourselves. When we are free to choose our own evolution for our own betterment, we can call ourselves to be actually free.
Now, if you have no idea how to choose your own evolution for your own betterment and that is the question that’s eating you up from the inside, we, Teeny Beans, have a solution for you. And this solution will help you achieve financial freedom and professional freedom to the least if not anything more through their non-franchise preschool business model. Financial and professional freedoms are something that everyone craves for but not everyone gets it. These two freedoms are crucial for the modern day man or woman, to be able to buy or make a purchase of all the things we want without any limitation and to be able to work whenever one wants or not, can improve the quality of our life and the freedom we have.
To achieve these two freedoms, one can always start his or her own non-franchise preschool chain with the help of Teeny Beans. It doesn’t matter if you already have a background as an educator or not. What matters is your willingness to learn and explore a new field. Yes, a relevant first hand experience helps but then again, everything that we have a mastery of today was something we had no idea in the start of it but we learnt and learnt.
So, if you are ready to explore something that you haven’t already, let's find out what are the benefits of owning a non-franchise preschool in India.
What happens with a franchise preschool owner is that the franchisee is handed down a bunch of guidelines and that needs to be followed at all costs. It’s all dictated beforehand and the franchisee is nothing more than a puppet to it. But, with a non-franchise preschool, you have complete flexibility and control of how your non-franchise preschool is going to operate from start to finish. Moreover, following the footsteps of others will only lead us to the distance they were able to reach and not a step beyond or a step in any other direction. It has its pros and cons but then, once you follow their footsteps you are denying your own freedom of doing or trying something new. You can choose your own curriculum, your own teaching methods, your own set of guidelines and many more, if you opt for a non-franchise preschool model.
Taking up a franchise preschool of a reputed brand requires a lump sum of money up front to get started alongside the royalty charges on a regular basis which can prove troublesome. However, with a non-franchise preschool instead of paying royalty; that money can be used for some other thing that benefits your preschool and everyone associated with it.
If you are investing your money in a business, should it not have your own identity? The issue with a branded franchise is that one has to live and exhibit the philosophy and values that might not actually resonate with your own personal value or ideology. And if something you cannot wholeheartedly accept in your own heart then no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to impart it to others. With a non-franchise preschool model you will have total freedom to create a unique brand identity for your preschool instead of being another copy among million others. Celebrate your individuality by setting up your own personal brand.
Obviously, if there is no franchise fee to be paid and royalties to anyone else, your profit margins will be higher with a non-franchise preschool model than with a franchise model. Higher profit margins means faster reaching the breakeven point of your business.
Everything that we pursue in life is for self satisfaction, that particular sense of accomplishment that assures us that we have done at least one thing right in life. That’s the basic human instinct that we follow every moment, every day of our life. Like any other business, if you can build your own non-franchise preschool from the ground up and can convert it into a successful business venture, the joy and satisfaction that you are going to feel inside you will be boundless.
Something that gives us immense joy and happiness like running a successful non-franchise preschool, demands our undivided attention, dedication and support. Because, our achievements will eventually lose their importance and value if we didn’t have to work hard for it and it fell on our lap without us going through much turmoil for it. This is the basic human tendency, we don’t respect or give enough significance to everything that we get in life easily or without working hard for it. To give purpose and meaning to our achievements, we ought to struggle. We ought to keep working hard for it, day and night.
So, for your own non-franchise preschool there are plenty of opportunities to work hard and dedicate your time to:
The first thing that you would need to brainstorm about your non-franchise preschool or franchise preschool is the promotion strategy or the marketing strategy. This is the most crucial part. You need to figure out the audience you want to promote your non-franchise preschool to and what approach would work the best to get them onboard with your preschool. If you can present something different or unique with your preschool, that uniqueness can be your preschool’s brand identity and it can boost your promotion strategy as well.
This is the part where you need to figure out the value that you will be providing with your non-franchise preschool to your customers. A curriculum is more than just a methodology, it is the philosophy and approach of teaching that will have an impact in the lives of the children. You have to ensure that they meet the educational standards of the country you are based in. This curriculum selection for your non-franchise preschool is an opportunity to make a difference in others’ lives, so you must be careful with it.
One of the important things that you need to do is to ensure that your non-franchise preschool is at par with all legal regulations and licensing that are required in India to operate a preschool. This can be an opportunity to put in some leg work and also some research.
To run a non-franchise preschool efficiently, you need highly professional and trained staff. Not only that, those staff need to be trained properly so that they can ensure that your non-franchise preschool is of high standards.
These are the basic challenges that a non-franchise preschool owner might face. However, without any challenges in our personal or professional lives we will not thrive, we will not excel, we will not get better.
