What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Creative World School Franchise Disclosure Document, the specific qualifications for School Managers are not detailed in the provided excerpts. The FDD does mention the training and support staff, including their roles and experience, but it does not explicitly state the required qualifications for a School Manager.
Item 11 does list several key personnel involved in training and support, such as Marianne Whitehouse (President, Director, and Certified Training Instructor since 1999), Ms. Thomure (Vice President of Education since January 1, 2016), and others with various roles and years of experience. This suggests that Creative World School places a strong emphasis on experienced and well-trained personnel to support franchisees.
To fully understand the qualifications needed to be a School Manager, a prospective franchisee should inquire directly with Creative World Schools Franchising Company, Inc. This would include asking about specific educational requirements, experience in childcare or management, and any certifications or licenses that are necessary. Contacting the franchisor directly will provide a clearer picture of what is expected for this critical role within the franchise.
