What happens if Engineering For Kids revokes approval of a program?

According to Engineering For Kids's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Engineering For Kids has the right to revoke approval of any program, curriculum, and materials. If Engineering For Kids does revoke approval, the franchisee is required to discontinue further offering or use of the disapproved programs and materials. The approved programs are identified in Engineering For Kids's Manual and related materials, referred to as the "Curriculum Catalog." This catalog is updated periodically to reflect any new programs that are approved, as well as any other changes or removal of previously approved programs.

This means that Engineering For Kids franchisees must stay up-to-date with the Curriculum Catalog and any other communications from the franchisor regarding approved programs. If a program is removed from the approved list, the franchisee must immediately stop offering it. This could impact the franchisee's revenue if a popular program is discontinued.

It is important for prospective franchisees to understand that Engineering For Kids retains control over the curriculum and program offerings. While franchisees can propose new programs, Engineering For Kids has the sole discretion to approve or disapprove them. This ensures consistency across the franchise system but also limits the franchisee's autonomy in developing their own programs. Franchisees should inquire about the process for proposing new programs and the criteria Engineering For Kids uses to evaluate them.
