Seeing a void in the market for quality child care, Brigida, an experienced business professional, and Theresa, a certified, primary school teacher and Early Childhood Educator, decided to establish their own early learning centre.
Parents and their young ones fell in love with Tiny Hoppers’ original programs which present an educational, interactive and fun program with carefully planned activities supported by high quality educational equipment. Using music, movement and hands on play, Tiny Hoppers has developed a program to aid in the social, emotional, physical and cognitive development of young children. Our activities are carefully planned to offer children an exciting, hands-on learning experience that touches on math, science, literacy, technology and the arts. Parents can expect the same high standards and programming in every Tiny Hoppers centre no matter where they go.
Rashid Nasim joined our ownership team in 2013 bringing with him expertise in finance and sales. Today, Tiny Hoppers has many locations in Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, China and Saudi Arabia and has more centres scheduled to open across the country and internationally. We are now ready to take our company forward and give children across the world a chance to experience the Tiny Hoppers’ difference.
Are You The Ideal Candidate?
We are looking for individuals who share these same beliefs and goals to help us present the Tiny Hoppers’ programs to children across the country.
As experienced business owners, we realize that one of the keys to success lies in choosing a business, that matches your own interests, abilities and financial situation. Being a business owner can be liberating, as it offers a sense of accomplishment, flexibility and is financially rewarding. Through careful screening , we ensure that we select those franchisees who possess the drive, personality, work ethic and commitment needed to be successful in the childcare field and more specifically in running one of our Tiny Hoppers Early Learning Centres.
An Award-Winning Concept
At Tiny Hoppers we spent over a decade in perfecting our business and programming model before expanding. Today, we are actively establishing centres throughout Canada. Our remarkable success has helped us to make a clean sweep of the daycare awards in every city where Tiny Hoppers is located. Together, our centres have won:
Faces Award for best daycare for multiple years running
CHCH Business Excellence Award
The Macaroni Kids Family Favourites Award
The Kingston This Week Readers Choice Award
Burlington Post Readers Choice Award
Three Best Rated Preschools Award
OBJ Business Achievement Award
In addition, co-founders Theresa Bertuzzi and Brigida Aversa each won the Ottawa Business Journal’s Top 40 under 40 Award and were chosen to be featured in Distinctive Women Magazine, featuring prominent business women across Canada.
The Tiny Hoppers Franchise Opportunity
Tiny Hoppers has developed a step-by-step process in facilitating entrepreneurs’ entry into this largely untapped market where we get to inspire and promote healthy child development. We recognize the growing need for unique educational programs that shape the minds of young children, so we have created a franchise system that allows you to grow a rewarding, profitable, scalable business model.
