Gaia expands through a Managed Partnership Model, where local partners operate centers while Gaia provides the curriculum, administration support, training, and centralized quality control.
Unlike a franchise, Gaia’s model is more flexible and collaborative. We work closely with partners while maintaining strong control over educational standards, operations, and brand consistency.
Partners are responsible for daily operations, team management, and local execution, while adhering to Gaia’s standards and systems.
Through standardized curriculum, structured training, regular audits, performance tracking, and continuous operational support from the corporate team.
Revenue is primarily driven by recurring monthly tuition fees, with additional opportunities from enrichment programs and extended care services.
Gaia earns through a structured partnership model, typically including initial setup fees and ongoing service or management fees tied to performance.
Partners receive continuous support including staff training, operational guidance, marketing input, and regular performance reviews to ensure sustained growth.
Gaia seeks partners who are aligned with its education mission, committed to maintaining high standards, and capable of managing operations with a long-term perspective.
Because it is system-driven and repeatable. With standardized curriculum, clear SOPs, and centralized oversight, Gaia can expand efficiently while maintaining consistent quality across locations.

We are building more than centers. We are building a new standard of childcare, where quality is consistent, operations are structured, and growth is intentional.
Let’s find the right model for your area.
