Tennessee continues to be a promising market for entrepreneurs interested in early childhood education. With growing communities, working families, and increasing demand for high-quality preschool options, now is an ideal time to explore preschool franchises with a proven brand like KLA Schools®.
KLA Schools offers more than a traditional child care center franchise. Our schools are inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach, a respected educational philosophy that encourages children to learn through exploration, creativity, collaboration, and hands-on discovery. This child-centered model creates an early learning environment designed to nurture the whole child.
For entrepreneurs researching preschool franchise opportunities, KLA Schools provides the systems, training, and resources needed to help franchise owners build with confidence. From real estate guidance and site selection assistance to operations, marketing, finance, pedagogy, and leadership training, our team works alongside franchise owners throughout development and ongoing school operations.
KLA Schools is one of the only preschools that uses the revolutionary Reggio Emilia Approach, a holistic, multisensory approach to learning and growth, where children learn by doing. The children who attend our schools have some control over how they learn through real-world interactions and environmental learning experiences.
The KLA Schools team is made up of experts in both education and business who are passionate about the preschool franchise opportunity that we have built. We know how impactful early childhood education is in every student’s life, which is why we are so dedicated to building the best schools possible. As a KLA Schools franchise owner, you will have access to our support resources, including real estate development and site selection assistance. These areas will be highly valuable as many others struggle to find and secure available space to build their preschool franchise – especially in top territories like the state of Tennessee.
Tennessee offers several strong markets for early education business opportunities, including Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville. The KLA Schools team has conducted market research on the state's leading metro areas and the factors that attract families with young children to live there. The child care industry is closely tied to workforce participation and population growth, both of which continue to increase in many Tennessee communities. As a result, entrepreneurs exploring preschool franchise opportunities may find Tennessee to be an attractive market for growth.
Known as the “Music City,” Nashville is now the 21st most populous city in the United States, as it is now attracting new residents at a record pace. The Nashville metro area’s population jumped 21% in a decade and seized the lion’s share of Tennessee’s growth. Young families make up a part of this growth that the city has experienced and expects to continue in the near future.
Memphis combines the vibrant atmosphere of a big city with the hometown feel that is welcoming and comfortable for young families. Memphis also intentionally maintains a lower-than-average cost of living. The cost of nearly everything — from groceries and utilities to recreation and education — stays solidly below the national average.
Knoxville is a welcoming home for many young families because of its relatively low cost of living and central position near many other big cities, including Nashville, Atlanta, and Charlotte. Knoxville is also full of great scenic views of mountains, hiking trails, rivers, lakes, and parks that families love living in close proximity to.
