Hopscotch Montessori Franchise

Build a premium preschool business — profitable, meaningful, and globally relevant

Join an international network of Montessori schools across New York, Toronto, Kyiv, and London.
With over 18 years of hands-on experience, we help partners launch and operate high-quality schools in major cities — combining strong financial performance with real social impact. This is your opportunity to create your dream space that generates $1M–$3M annually while shaping the next generation of creative problem-solvers and empathetic critical thinkers.

A business model that combines profit and purpose

Education is one of the most resilient and in-demand sectors globally. At the same time, families are actively seeking values-driven early education with a high level of service. Hopscotch Montessori operates at the intersection of premium quality, international communities, and urban family demand.

Our schools serve:
  • high-income families
  • expats and international professionals
  • globally minded communities

However, launching such a school from scratch is complex:
  • finding the right location
  • designing the space
  • navigating licensing
  • building a team
  • achieving enrollment

Which is why we provide a structured, experience-based system that guides you through all of it. You are not starting from zero. You are building on a model already proven in real competitive markets.
