FRANCHISE RESALES

Buy a Haven Franchise

Haven is a membership-based family-services franchise that brings three offerings together under one roof: fully licensed early childhood education for ages 0–5, shared and private parent workspaces, and an in-house fitness studio with wellness amenities. The brand calls this integrated model “familycare” and positions each Haven club as a single destination for childcare, work and self-care.

Founded in 2018 by Britt Riley and now franchising, Haven runs on a recurring membership model rather than the traditional drop-off daycare structure. Its childcare program uses a Reggio Emilia and Montessori-inspired curriculum delivered through the proprietary Haven Method, while parent amenities span reservable desks, quiet work pods, group and personal training, and member community events. Flagship clubs operate in Gladstone and Middletown, New Jersey.

Haven positions itself as the first integrated childcare, workspace and fitness concept of its kind in the US, and the system is in an early growth phase, having signed its first franchise owners in Illinois in 2025. The model targets dual-income and remote-working families looking to consolidate childcare, work and wellness in one location.

Why buy a Haven Franchise?

Haven offers entry into a category-defining concept within the essential, recession-resilient childcare sector, paired with the recurring revenue of a membership business. The integrated familycare model gives owners several membership and revenue streams from one site—childcare, workspace and fitness—rather than relying on childcare enrollment alone.

The membership structure is designed to generate predictable monthly revenue, strong retention and long-term member relationships, which can support steadier cash flow than project-based businesses. As an early-stage but heavily publicized brand, Haven has drawn national media attention and built a defined support infrastructure, the Haven Pillars program, spanning operations, childcare, fitness, marketing and technology. To buy a Haven franchise is to enter a concept still establishing its footprint, so brand awareness will vary by market.

Haven – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Haven supports franchisees through its Haven Pillars program, covering leadership, training, operations, technology and marketing. Initial training runs over 130 hours of online and in-person instruction, spanning pre-opening and ongoing components, with the proprietary Haven Method guiding childcare delivery. Owners also receive proprietary operating systems, member-facing technology and parent-communication tools, plus ongoing marketing and operational coaching from childcare, fitness and business specialists. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and Haven Method certification carry over to incoming owners and staff at sale.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Haven suits community-minded operators who connect with working parents and want a hands-on role building local membership and culture; prior childcare experience is not required, as the franchisor supplies the curriculum and systems. Because each club blends childcare, coworking and fitness, owners should be comfortable managing licensed staff, overseeing daily operations across several service areas, and driving local marketing and member retention. Relationship-building, organization and genuine interest in family wellbeing matter more here than an industry background.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Haven has been certified a Great Place to Work for three consecutive years and has earned national media attention, with features across outlets including Forbes, CNN, Newsweek, Fast Company and Business Insider. As an early-stage franchise, it reached a notable milestone in 2025 when an Illinois couple became its first franchise owners, and the brand appears in franchise networks such as IFPG. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific club's local reputation, member reviews and community standing.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US childcare market exceeds $60 billion and is projected to approach $92 billion within the next decade, driven by dual-income households—roughly 70% of young children now live in one—and rising demand for workplace flexibility, with most working mothers in the labor force. Haven's combined childcare, coworking and fitness model targets what the franchisor estimates as a $110 billion-plus US opportunity across those categories. Childcare is widely seen as an essential, recession-resilient service, though local demand, licensing rules and competition vary by market and warrant close review by resale buyers.
