The Global Art models are developed for the establishment and operation of a learning center. This business offers educational and developmental programs for children on a class structured basis. The reference to “Location” or “Center” is the place where you will conduct your business with students and includes all programs and activities. You may use each location only for operating the Center. The learning centers offer art related programs for children to begin to develop and build life learning skills that encourages academic, social, emotional and motor skills, communication, confidence, physical development creativity and imagination in a safe, clean environment. The learning centers are intended to support, stimulate and enhance a child's natural development during these most formative and critical years of growth that will last a lifetime. A learning center franchise will offer a variety of supervised learning programs and activities conducted at centers, shop or other approved venues. These child learning centers are based on an interactive proprietary curriculum that incorporates multi-sensory learning methods provided through our proprietary learning programs (“Courses”) which will be provided to all franchisees. The learning centers offer monthly tuition programs making it an affordable solution for parentsOur programs take the guess work out of finding the right extracurricular art program for children that also encourages intellectual and social growth. The target market for a learning center includes parents, grandparents, and/or guardians of children who desire to enrich their children's creativity development, social, thinking, communication and leadership skills. You may have to compete with other businesses including franchised operations, national chains and independently owned companies offering developmental and educational programs similar to those found at a learning center. Generally, there is no seasonality to this business. The market for specialized accelerated educational assistance or after-school programs is established and competitive throughout the United States as the market is continuously changing and evolving. However, we believe that our competitive position, our proprietary curriculum and the quality of programs we offer, which is enhanced by our operational format, places our learning centers in a unique class of its own. The learning center is characterized by a uniform business format that has proprietary curriculum all housed within a national website that features online functionality; a unique and recognizable layout, content, décor, color scheme, displays, and furnishings; a distinctive on-line system that is accessible by all franchisees and which provides guidance and instructions on operational procedures, cost controls, management and financial control (including point of sale and tracking systems); customer service guidelines, qualification processes for hiring staff, teaching methods and strategies; product and vendor specifications; procedures for safety and quality control; training, marketing support and ongoing operational assistance; all of which may be changed, improved and further developed by us (the ‘System').
