SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Executive Home Care, one of the nation’s leading in-home care providers, is participating in Careers In Aging Week by raising awareness about the growing demand for senior home healthcare and the franchise opportunity available.

Every day, 10,000 Americans turn 65, and with life expectancies on the rise, this demographic will represent over 20% of our population by 2050. AARP’s recent Home And Communities Preferences Survey states 77 percent of older adults want to remain in their homes as they age.

According to Executive Home Care Brand President Kevin Porter, now is a great time to become part of the thriving home healthcare industry. “The aging population is increasing the demand for in-home care services,” he explained. “As a result, there’s never been a better time to consider a career in senior care and become a part of the Executive Home Care family.”

Porter noted that as a respected home healthcare brand, Executive Home Care offers a unique franchise opportunity for those looking to enter the senior care industry. “As a proven business model with valuable revenue streams, extensive training and support, and a commitment to providing exceptional care, Executive Home Care is the ideal choice for individuals looking to make a positive impact in their community,” he added.

Senen Cabalfin and Jeff Wolf, both Executive Home Care franchisees, share their reasons for choosing the franchise opportunity.

“As an operating room nurse, I found that the continuity of care was lacking compared to what I experienced in home care, says Cabalfin. “The personal interactions and the ability to build lasting relationships were what I valued most, which led me to transition to the home care specialty. This passion for providing personalized care is what inspired me to become an Executive Home Care franchisee.”

“I always wanted a career where I could help others,” adds Wolf. “With my Executive Home Care franchise, I quickly became an important and valuable resource in my community, delivering expert senior care that makes the real difference.”

Executive Home Care is part of the Evive Brands family providing exceptional support and services to families and communities across the nation.

I also felt that purchasing a Gotcha Covered franchise was an opportunity to have an impact on people’s lives as well as the quality of life for my own family. It would bring me a certain amount of happiness to help bring out the beauty and functionality in someone’s home or business.”

Jose said joining Gotcha Covered was a fantastic way to incorporate his business management and sales experience with Angela’s vision and eye for design.

Celebree School Debuts in Texas: Announces 7 Signed Franchise Agreements

Early Childhood Education Franchise Breaks into New State as Demand for Childhood Education Rises.

DALLAS — Celebree School, a leader in early childhood education that provides infant and toddler care, preschool, before and aftercare, and summer camp programs, is capitalizing on growth potential in Texas as demand for early childhood education continues to rise. The brand announces seven franchise agreements in development across the state, plus an additional 10 schools under future development agreements. All seven schools – across Austin, Dallas, and Houston – are projected to open by the end of 2024.

Texas leads the nation in population growth, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The state is now home to 30 million people – adding roughly half a million new residents since the summer of 2021. With that comes an increasingly large demand for families seeking premier early childhood education, and Celebree looks to fill that void.

First to open will be Celebree School of Dallas Arts District, projected to open in fall of 2023 at 2400 Bryan Street. Owner of this school is local Mockingbird Park resident, Mindi McClure. Prior to Celebree School, McClure spent the last three decades in investment and commercial banking. Ready for a career change, she sought out entrepreneurial opportunities where she would be able to make a powerful impact for children and families.

“I was eager to pursue the franchise opportunity and be the first franchisee to bring the Celebree brand to Texas,” said McClure. “Texas has a lot of growth, and I look forward to truly building a community of families. That’s what Celebree is all about, and we hope to bring that culture to life while providing the highest quality of childcare.”

On the heels of this opening will be growth in the below markets:

Dallas
- Three Celebree Schools opening summer/fall 2024
Houston
- Two Celebree Schools opening summer 2024
Austin
- One Celebree School opening summer 2024

Company leadership sees vast growth potential across Texas with opportunities to add 31 schools across Dallas, 28 schools in Houston, and eight schools in the Austin DMA.

To support the brand’s hyper-growth across the state, Celebree School has announced a corporate hub strategy that will bring corporate schools to Dallas by the end of 2023 and Houston by the end of 2024. The Dallas corporate hub lease was signed on March 15, 2023 at 5459 La Sierra Drive.

As Celebree School seeds the market with a corporate hub, the brand will have the opportunity to truly become a local expert. This will play a critical role in recruitment, enrollment, and training as part of franchisee onboarding and opening. These development efforts contribute to Celebree School’s aggressive expansion goal of opening 150 new schools over the next three years.

Today, Celebree has 26 corporate schools, 14 franchise locations, and 90-plus in various stages of future development. As franchise development continues to surge, Celebree School is looking for qualified and engaged individuals seeking single and multi-unit opportunities who are involved in their community, have a passion for childhood education, and are eager to explore the world of franchising.

Celebree School lives by its promise to Grow People Big and Small^™, and was founded on the belief that success in early childhood development is equal parts curriculum and a connection that extends beyond the classroom to address the needs of the whole child and the whole family. Each Celebree School is a village made up of parents, children, and educators with a focus on curriculum-based care that prepares your child for kindergarten and beyond.

Programs are available for children six weeks to 12-years-old with unique curriculums designed to develop positive social skills and values while allowing children to learn about their world through age-appropriate play, projects, and activities. Care is available part-time or full-time, and parents are allowed to drop in and visit at any time.

When franchisees invest with Celebree School, they’re investing in an organization with a strong culture, solid systems, and a proven business model backed with 28-plus years of experience in providing exceptional early childhood education.

The company has a culture of partnership where the ideas and information flow freely between franchisees and the franchisor.”
