What would be my start-up costs?

We charge you a one-time start-up fee of only $150 (or just $100 if you're already a member of valuesparenting.com). This provides you with the start-up manual of instructions, registration forms for your students, a parent handbook template, advertising and marketing materials, etc. To see the Table of Contents for your Start-Up Manual, click here.

In addition to paying for the start-up materials from us, you'll need to purchase some supplies to set up your home or space for your Joy School.  Most Joy School operators use what they've already got as far as furniture, toys and supplies and do not need to spend very much money on materials.  The lesson plans call for use of very inexpensive craft supplies including paper, crayons, glue and construction paper.  Some programs decide to convert a room or garage to create a dedicated Joy School space which could involve quite a bit of money.  Most programs start simple and then build up their supplies or further enhance their space after they've earned enough money from Joy School to pay for such things and/or would like to expand and upgrade their program to increase their income potential.

After paying your one-time start-up fee, you pay a reasonable franchise fee each year to get on-line access to the detailed lesson plans and to receive your own set of the music CDs that go with the lessons.  You'll also need to pay “dues” for each student enrolled in your program.

Shop around – but we think you'll find that Joy School offers the most inexpensive high-quality complete curriculum and start-up materials anywhere.
