Top 10 Child Related Franchises

Child-related franchises are some of the most fun and enjoyable franchises you can own. Anything child-related in general is pretty great, as any parent would tell you. Child-related franchises include children’s arts and crafts franchises, haircutting franchises, music franchises, and theatre franchises. If you do a Google search for child-related words like “child care franchises” and “tutoring franchises” you will see that there’s numerous opportunities available. Child-care franchises are in-demand. About 40% of American families spend $1,000 on their children’s extracurricular activities, according to a SunTrust Bank survey on activities for their children. Not only are child-related franchises potentially lucrative, but they can also be extremely rewarding.

Here are the top child related franchises for week ending July 26, 2026. The IFPG uses its internal data collected from our portal to identify which child related franchises had the most activity in the past week. This ranking system is not based on franchise sales, franchisee success rates or number of units open. We use our ranking system to help identify new and upcoming franchise systems.
