nel. There currently are no fixed (i.e., monthly or bi-monthly) training schedules. Management Training must be completed at least 1 month prior to Opening.
In addition, 2 to 4 weeks of employee/staff training ("Employee Training") will be provided at your School, another School or training facility and will consist of on-the-job training with a Creative World School® Business trainer for you and your employees. Trainers will observe, demonstrate and discuss with you and your employees appropriate practices to train on Creative World School® Business Franchise policies and curriculum. In addition to this on-the-job training component, you and your employees may be required to participate in weekly 3-hour classroom sessions. The following is an example of our anticipated Employee Training program for you and your employees, which will take place at your School. There are no additional fees for this training, but you must pay the expenses of the trainees which may include food, lodging and travel expenses. (Franchise Agreement – Section 7.2) We expect the Employee Training will be conducted immediately before and after your School opens. Although we provide Employee Training relating to our systems and brand standards, you are solely responsible for all other employee training and all terms and conditions of employment.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Creative World School's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, on-the-job training is part of the Employee Training program. This training, lasting 2 to 4 weeks, involves a Creative World School business trainer observing, demonstrating, and discussing appropriate practices with the franchisee and their employees. The training covers Creative World School franchise policies and curriculum. Franchisees and their employees may also need to attend weekly 3-hour classroom sessions. The Employee Training is expected to occur immediately before and after the school opens. Franchisees are responsible for all other employee training outside of the brand's systems and standards.
The Operations Manual includes a section on budgeting within the Infant Curriculum Manual Table of Contents. This section covers topics such as a monthly budget tool, income, expenses, and a staff roster template. It also includes a chapter on tracking investment and key performance indicators, covering financial analysis, quarterly analysis, ProCare reports, contract billing summaries, enrollment reports, account aging, expense tracking, cash paid out, required reporting, tuition billing and collection, payment plans, and vacation request policies.
Given the inclusion of 'Budgeting' and related financial topics in the Operations Manual and the provision of on-the-job training, it is likely that Creative World School franchisees and their employees receive practical training in budgeting. However, the FDD does not explicitly detail the specific content or format of the on-the-job training for budgeting. A prospective franchisee should confirm with Creative World School the extent to which budgeting is covered during on-the-job training and classroom sessions to fully understand the financial management training provided.
