What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Creative World School Franchise Disclosure Document, the Opening Package Fee, which ranges from $275,000 to $500,000, is paid either to Creative World School or to their affiliate. The payment method is "As Agreed" and is due "By agreement with us or our designee".
The Opening Package includes all the interior items necessary to operate the school according to Creative World School's standards. This encompasses a computer system, movable fixtures, furniture, equipment like tables, chairs, desks, cots, cribs, and shelving, as well as tricycles, educational equipment, toys, games, puppets, school and teaching supplies, curriculum, office computers, interior artwork, and smallwares. Given the substantial investment, prospective franchisees should clarify with Creative World School whether the payment is made directly to them or to a designated affiliate, and understand the specific payment schedule and terms.
Since most of the furniture and equipment is imported, the FDD notes that these items are subject to tariffs which are currently difficult to forecast. This could impact the final cost of the Opening Package. It is important for prospective franchisees to discuss with Creative World School how potential tariff fluctuations might affect the overall cost and payment structure for the Opening Package.
