sKids is a franchise child care business. Our aim is to establish Out of School Care And Recreation (OSCAR) programmes that are fun and educational, recognising and catering for the varying needs of different communities.

sKids Centres serve the needs of local communities, keep children safe and return an income directly back to the community it is based within and at the same time sKids Centres provide services for families, employ locals and help franchisees establish a strong business that all can participate in and be proud of.

sKids is proud to have helped people who previously thought they would not be able to own and run a business. This is because of the strength and support created by the franchise team concept.

Who should become a SKIDS Franchisee?

A successful SKIDS Franchisee is motivated and willing to follow the sKids system.

Surveys show that franchisees succeed because of;

an eagerness to learn
a desire to help others
a willingness to work longer hours initially to get the business started
solid self-discipline and family support.
the ability to take direction when necessary
a willingness to invest your own time, and money into your business
not afraid to ask for help
well organised and a good planner.

Common causes of failure in business include not following the system, not going the extra mile, spending money on unnecessary assets (new car etc) before the business is stable and not having the self-discipline to cope with the responsibility of owning a small business.
