The franchise application process is simple:

1. Submit the Franchise Enquiry Form.
2. Interact with our Business Development Team.
3. Complete the preliminary discussion and location assessment.
4. Finalise the business proposal and commercial terms.
5. Execute the MOU and Franchise Agreement.
6. Complete infrastructure setup, recruitment, and training.
7. Launch your My Junior School preschool with our complete support.

The ideal location for a My Junior School preschool is a residential or semi-commercial area with good visibility, easy accessibility, and a safe, child-friendly environment. A ground-floor premises is generally preferred for the convenience and safety of young children.

A built-up area of approximately 1,500 to 2,500 sq. ft., comprising 3 to 5 classrooms, 2 to 3 child-friendly washrooms, a reception area, office space, and an outdoor activity/play area (where feasible) is considered ideal for establishing a preschool.

Every location is unique, and the space requirement may vary depending on the local market, expected student strength, and statutory requirements. Our team assists prospective franchise partners with site evaluation, market analysis, centre planning, and layout recommendations to ensure the infrastructure meets My Junior School's quality standards and provides an optimal learning environment for children.

The investment required to establish a My Junior School preschool generally ranges between ?2.50 lakh and ?10.00 lakh, depending on the selected business model, location, centre size, infrastructure requirements, interiors, and local setup costs.

This investment typically includes the franchise fee, academic resources, branding materials, training, initial operational support, and preschool equipment. The final investment may vary based on individual project requirements and the facilities you wish to provide.

In addition to the initial setup cost, we recommend maintaining a working capital reserve of approximately ?2.00 lakh to ?3.00 lakh to comfortably manage initial operating expenses such as staff salaries, rent, utilities, local marketing, and other day-to-day administrative costs during the initial months of operation.

Our business development team will work closely with you to understand your requirements and provide a customised investment estimate and business plan based on your proposed location and preferred business model.

The manpower requirement depends on the size of the preschool and the expected student enrolment. For a newly established My Junior School centre, the following team structure is generally recommended:

• 1 Centre Coordinator – To manage admissions, administration, parent communication, and day-to-day centre operations.
• 2 Professionally Trained Facilitators – To deliver the curriculum and support children's holistic development.
• 1–2 Caregivers (Ayahs) – To assist with child care, hygiene, classroom support, and daily routines.
• 1 Security Personnel (where required) – To help ensure the safety and security of children, staff, and visitors.

As admissions grow, additional facilitators and support staff can be appointed based on student strength and operational requirements.

My Junior School provides guidance in staff recruitment, induction, academic training, and continuous professional development, ensuring that every team member is well-equipped to deliver high-quality preschool education and care.

There is no fixed fee structure for all My Junior School centres, as it depends on several local factors, including the city's economic profile, neighbourhood demographics, parents' affordability, competitor pricing, facilities offered, and the overall market demand for quality preschool education.

Before finalising the fee structure, My Junior School recommends conducting a comprehensive local market survey covering:

• Existing preschool fee structures in the area.
• Demographic profile and purchasing capacity of families.
• Local demand for organised preschool education.
• Facilities, programmes, and value offered by competing schools.

Our Business Development Team provides guidance in analysing the local market and recommending a competitive, sustainable, and value-based fee structure that balances affordability for parents with the long-term financial viability of your preschool.

Brand building is a collaborative effort between My Junior School and its franchise partners.

At the corporate level, My Junior School undertakes brand development, digital marketing initiatives, social media campaigns, creative design, promotional materials, website management, and other brand-building activities to strengthen the visibility and reputation of the My Junior School network.

At the local level, franchise partners are responsible for implementing admission campaigns and community outreach initiatives within their respective territories. These may include local advertising, parent engagement programmes, school events, open houses, neighbourhood promotions, and relationship-building activities.

To support franchise partners, My Junior School provides marketing guidance, promotional creatives, campaign ideas, admission strategies, branding materials, digital marketing support, and assistance in organising events, health camps, parent workshops, seminars, and community engagement programmes. Depending on the campaign and company policy, selected local marketing initiatives may also receive corporate support or cost-sharing assistance.

Together, these coordinated efforts help maximise brand visibility, generate quality enquiries, and increase admissions.

The responsibility for recruiting staff rests with the franchise partner, as they are best placed to identify candidates who suit the local community and operational requirements. However, My Junior School provides comprehensive guidance throughout the recruitment process to help ensure that the right team is selected.

Our support includes:

• Defining the staffing structure based on projected student strength.
• Preparing job descriptions and selection criteria.
• Assisting in screening and shortlisting suitable candidates.
• Providing interview guidelines and recruitment best practices.
• Conducting induction programmes and academic training for newly appointed facilitators.
• Offering continuous professional development through regular workshops, training sessions, classroom observations, and academic support.

This collaborative approach enables franchise partners to build a competent, motivated, and well-trained team capable of delivering the high standards of education and care expected at every My Junior School centre.

Yes. Comprehensive training is an integral part of the My Junior School Franchise Programme. We believe that well-trained coordinators, facilitators, and support staff are essential to delivering high-quality preschool education and maintaining consistent standards across all centres.

Before commencing operations, the Centre Coordinator and facilitators undergo a structured induction and training programme conducted by the My Junior School Academic and Operations Team. The training covers curriculum implementation, classroom management, child development, teaching methodologies, school operations, parent communication, admissions, safety protocols, and administrative procedures.

In addition to the initial induction, franchise partners and their teams receive continuous academic support, refresher training, workshops, webinars, classroom observations, and periodic professional development programmes to keep them updated with the latest educational practices.

The cost of the initial training programme is borne by the franchise partner, as specified in the franchise agreement. Details of the training schedule, venue, and associated costs are communicated well in advance to ensure smooth planning and participation.

Yes. Every My Junior School Franchise Partner undergoes a structured Franchise Orientation and Business Training Programme before the preschool becomes operational. We believe that a well-informed franchise partner is the key to successfully managing and growing a high-quality preschool.

The orientation programme is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the My Junior School business model and covers areas such as:

• The My Junior School vision, values, and operating philosophy.
• Preschool business planning and centre setup.
• Centre administration and day-to-day operations.
• Admissions, parent counselling, and enrolment strategies.
• Academic systems and curriculum implementation.
• Human resource management and staff supervision.
• Marketing, branding, and community engagement.
• Financial planning and operational best practices.
• Quality standards, policies, and compliance requirements.
• Technology platforms, ERP, and Parent Mobile App.

In addition to the initial orientation, franchise partners receive continuous guidance through review meetings, refresher programmes, workshops, webinars, operational updates, and ongoing mentoring from the Head Office team.

Our objective is not only to help you open a preschool successfully but also to support you in building a sustainable, profitable, and respected education enterprise.

No. My Junior School does not charge any recurring royalty or revenue-sharing fee from its franchise partners under the standard franchise model.

We believe that franchise partners should be able to reinvest their earnings into strengthening their preschool, enhancing infrastructure, improving learning resources, expanding marketing initiatives, and delivering an exceptional educational experience for children.

Our business model is designed to foster a long-term, mutually beneficial partnership, where franchise partners receive continuous academic, operational, marketing, and business support without the burden of recurring royalty payments.

Any applicable fees, if any, are clearly communicated and governed by the Franchise Agreement, ensuring complete transparency and a strong foundation of trust between Sharda Learning Systems Pvt Ltd and its franchise partners.

• Residential catchment and target population.
• Accessibility, visibility, and connectivity.
• Safe, child-friendly surroundings.
• Size and suitability of the premises.
• Availability of indoor and outdoor learning spaces.
• Competition and local market potential.
• Infrastructure requirements and statutory considerations.

We also provide recommendations on centre layout, space planning, and infrastructure to ensure that your preschool meets My Junior School's quality standards and offers an engaging learning environment for children.

While the final selection, lease, or purchase of the premises remains the responsibility of the franchise partner, Sharda Learning Systems Pvt. Ltd. works closely with you throughout the site selection process to help you choose a location with strong long-term business potential.

The return on investment (ROI) varies from one preschool to another and depends on several factors, including the location, student enrolment, fee structure, operational efficiency, local market conditions, and the franchise partner's commitment to implementing the My Junior School business model.

With effective planning, quality service, strong parent engagement, and sustained admission growth, a My Junior School preschool has the potential to become a profitable and sustainable education venture over time.

Sharda Learning Systems Pvt. Ltd. supports franchise partners through business planning, academic guidance, marketing assistance, operational support, and continuous mentoring to help maximise the centre's long-term growth and profitability.

While we do not guarantee any specific financial returns, our objective is to provide every franchise partner with the systems, resources, and support needed to build a successful and rewarding preschool business.

Sharda Learning Systems Pvt. Ltd. provides comprehensive guidance to help franchise partners establish a preschool that meets the academic, operational, and brand standards of My Junior School.

As part of the centre setup process, we provide:

• A recommended centre layout and floor plan for optimum utilisation of available space.
• Standard colour schemes and branding guidelines to maintain a consistent My Junior School identity.
• Guidance on classroom design, learning zones, reception, office, waiting area, and activity spaces.
• Age-appropriate Learn & Play Resource Materials (LPRMs), classroom equipment, and indoor/outdoor play equipment as per the selected business model.
• Recommendations on safety, security, hygiene, and child-friendly infrastructure in line with our operational standards.

The office furniture, reception furniture, waiting area furniture, storage units, civil work, interiors, electrical work, and other infrastructure-related items are arranged by the franchise partner through local vendors in accordance with the specifications and guidelines provided by Sharda Learning Systems Pvt. Ltd.

Throughout the setup process, our Operations Team provides continuous guidance and support to ensure that the preschool is established in accordance with My Junior School's quality standards and is fully prepared before commencement of operations.

The standard Franchise Agreement with Sharda Learning Systems Pvt. Ltd. is valid for a period of five (5) years from the date of execution.

Upon successful completion of the initial term, the agreement may be renewed for a further period by mutual consent, subject to the franchise partner's continued compliance with the terms and conditions of the Franchise Agreement and the payment of the applicable renewal fee prevailing at the time of renewal.

Our objective is to build long-term partnerships with committed franchise partners who consistently maintain the quality standards, operational excellence, and brand values of My Junior School.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) executed with Sharda Learning Systems Pvt. Ltd. is valid for a maximum period of 45 working days from the date of execution.

During this period, the prospective franchise partner is expected to complete the agreed pre-launch formalities, such as site finalisation, documentation, infrastructure planning, and other requirements necessary for commencing the franchise process.

If the required formalities are not completed within the stipulated period, the MOU may lapse or be extended only with the mutual consent of both parties, in accordance with the prevailing company policy.

No. Unless otherwise specifically stated in writing by Sharda Learning Systems Pvt. Ltd., the Franchise Fee, MOU Fee, and the cost of LPRMs (Learn & Play Resource Materials) are non-refundable once paid.

These payments are made towards the allocation of franchise rights, business planning, administrative processing, academic support, branding, training, and the procurement or reservation of learning resources and materials required for establishing the preschool.

All commercial terms, payment schedules, and refund policies are clearly specified in the relevant agreements and documents executed between Sharda Learning Systems Pvt. Ltd. and the franchise partner. Prospective franchise partners are encouraged to review these documents carefully before making any payment.

The payment for the Learn & Play Resource Materials (LPRMs) should be made at least 30 days prior to the proposed inauguration date of the preschool.

This advance timeline enables Sharda Learning Systems Pvt. Ltd. to process the order, prepare the required materials, conduct quality checks, arrange packaging, and coordinate transportation from the Head Office to your centre, ensuring timely delivery before the preschool becomes operational.

We recommend that franchise partners finalise their inauguration schedule well in advance and complete the LPRM payment within the stipulated timeframe to avoid any delay in the delivery of learning materials and the commencement of academic activities.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the transportation and shipping cost of the Learn & Play Resource Materials (LPRMs) from the Head Office to the franchise centre is borne by the franchise partner.

In certain cases, Sharda Learning Systems Pvt. Ltd. may extend support by sharing or subsidising the transportation cost, depending on the order size, location of the centre, logistics requirements, promotional schemes, or any mutually agreed commercial arrangement.

The applicable transportation charges and payment terms will be communicated to the franchise partner before dispatch to ensure complete transparency and smooth delivery.

Once the premises have been finalised, the Franchise Agreement has been executed, all applicable payments (including the Franchise Fee and Learn & Play Resource Materials (LPRMs) cost) have been completed, and the required pre-launch formalities have been fulfilled, it generally takes approximately 45 to 60 days to make a My Junior School preschool fully operational.

During this period, Sharda Learning Systems Pvt. Ltd. works closely with the franchise partner to complete the following activities:

• Centre layout planning and infrastructure setup.
• Branding and installation of learning resources.
• Delivery and installation of LPRMs and play equipment.
• Recruitment and training of the Centre Coordinator and facilitators.
• Academic orientation and operational training.
• Parent counselling and pre-launch admission activities.
• Final operational readiness review before inauguration.

The actual timeline may vary depending on the readiness of the premises, local execution, statutory approvals (where applicable), logistics, and the timely completion of all agreed formalities by the franchise partner.

A My Junior School preschool can be established and admissions can be accepted throughout the year, as enquiries and admissions are not restricted to a single admission season.

However, from a business perspective, it is advisable to plan the launch of the preschool during periods that allow sufficient time for marketing, parent counselling, and admissions before the commencement of a new academic session.

In general, the most favourable periods for launching a preschool are:

• October to March – This allows adequate time to complete centre setup, marketing, and admissions in preparation for the new academic session beginning in April.
• July to August – Suitable for centres targeting mid-session admissions or regions where the academic calendar and admission cycle differ.

Sharda Learning Systems Pvt. Ltd. assists franchise partners in preparing a pre-launch roadmap, including marketing campaigns, admission planning, training, and inauguration activities, to help maximise admissions and ensure a successful launch.
