teach english to children and be your own bossSo here is the idea… Start your own Learn with Mummy! Start them, manage them, run them. Create your dream job out of your passion, a job that would allow you total flexibility as to how much, when, where and with whom you work.

Yeah probably the idea of starting and managing something is quite scary, but it can be done, I did it!, and you can leverage all the experience, network and contacts that Bilingue per Gioco has built over the years.

What are Learn with Mummy playgroups

Learn with Mummy are the English Playgroup for children and parents, much more than just English classes for children, they really are the beginning of a journey and of a new approach to languages that involves the whole family. Learn with Mummy can offer children daily exposure to English in a simple and playful way, that suits each family’s needs and resources.

Each groups normally meets once a week, during the whole school year. During each session the teacher will coordinate activities and everybody will join him or her, children and parents alike.

The opportunity for the franchisee

The demand for this kind of services is high and constantly increasing, parents have by now realised that schools will not teach their kids English, and if they have some knowledge of the language they’d better make the most of it… To date the number of playgroups has been limited by the supply capacity, not by demand, in other words, families are very interested in this type of innovative offer, the problem so far has been finding the right teachers…

What’s the deal?

Bilingue per Gioco would provide frachisees the training, materials and support for running and promoting their activities, as well as visibility through the blog and all the contacts created in these last years and, finally, an exclusivity area.
