Abrakadoodle is the leading Children's Art Education Franchise that brings creative art classes, camps and special art events to children ages 2 years through middle school worldwide. STEAM focused programs are also included in our franchise offering. Our low-cost home-based franchise requires no brick-and-mortar location. Franchise owners partner with schools, community centers and other convenient community locations, where our programs are taught. Abrakadoodle has developed a unique standards-based curriculum that enables schools to outsource their art programs to our franchise owners. This revenue stream supports full school year contracts with multiple school locations. Together with our additional revenue streams, the Abrakadoodle model helps franchise owners build repeatable, sustainable and scalable business throughout the entire day and across the entire year.
