How Franchising with Haven Works: A Modern Childcare Franchise Opportunity

A New Kind of Childcare Franchise for Modern Families

The traditional daycare franchise model was built for a different era. Today’s families live and work differently, and they need more from the businesses that support them. Haven reshapes the childcare franchise industry by integrating fully licensed early childhood education, shared and private workspaces, and an in-house fitness studio under one roof and into one unified, membership-based model.

We aren’t just opening childcare centers. We’re building modern childcare clubs designed for the way families actually live today – we are designed for familycare.

Why Haven Chose the Franchise Model

When we decided to expand Haven beyond the East Coast in 2025, franchising felt like the natural choice. The reason was simple: we wanted each Haven childcare club to feel as unique as the community it was nestled in, and to feel like a small business rooted in local relationships.

We knew immediately that this was only possible through a franchise model, with community leaders owning their Haven clubs and building meaningful relationships with local families and businesses. We also knew that for Haven to be truly successful, each club owner needed to trust that they had the support of something much larger behind them — the systems, resources, and national support of an established brand.

Locally Owned. Nationally Supported.

“When we decided that we were going to grow through inviting people in their community to open their own Haven clubs, we did that very intentionally. What makes a great Haven is the person who’s that heartbeat to it. Haven club owners, our franchisees, are the most important part of our community, because they’re the ones who have a very deep knowledge of what kind of makes it tick.” – Britt Riley, Founder and CEO of Haven

Our Haven club owners are so important to our business model because they deeply understand what their community needs. They understand the needs, challenges, and successes their families face. They know firsthand how parents within their communities are balancing work, childcare, and self-care, and how powerful it is to have all three supported in one place. Haven club owners also understand how to bring parents and caregivers together during an otherwise vulnerable time, creating and nurturing the Haven magic that connects each member family.

Through our Haven childcare franchise opportunities, we create spaces across the U.S. that remain deeply connected to their communities while benefiting from a proven, innovative business model. Each Haven location offers advanced childcare and early education, in-house fitness studios, and quiet coworking spaces for parents—all structured within a recurring membership model designed for stability and long-term growth. And, just as important, designed to make life easier for modern families.

Ongoing Franchise Support Designed for Long-Term Success

Long after Haven club owners have opened their doors, we guide our franchisees in growing their businesses through operational systems, marketing support, training, and shared best practices across the Haven network. What we have always loved about the franchising model for Haven is that each of our franchise club owners is in business for themselves, except they’re not alone. 

Our Haven team has decades worth of experience in childcare, early education, fitness, and franchise development to support you in your journey to bringing a Haven club to life and ensuring that it thrives within your community. Our goal is to support each Haven club owner in ensuring their Haven club is a practical business and positively impacts real families.

Our Childcare Franchise Opportunity

“When I think about who’s right for our Haven franchise and what makes them compatible with us. First and foremost is we need somebody who’s hands-on. We want to do that because of that sense of community and ownership; nobody creates the Haven magic like someone who owns a Haven club. The second is, again, a passion for family care, a passion for your community, a passion for your kids.” – John Collins, President of Haven Franchising

As one of the most innovative childcare franchise opportunities in the U.S., Haven offers a unique model that blends high-quality early education, shared and private workspaces, and fitness for families—all under one roof and with one membership.
