Snapology Franchise Information

In 2010, sisters Laura and Lisa Coe founded the Snapology company as a creative play program for children ages one to 14 using Lego, K’Nex, and iPads. Snapology, part of the Unleashed Brands family, has over 170 franchise locations in the United States and is the premier option for year-round STEAM programs (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Math). Snapology aims to teach science, technology, engineering, robotics, art, and math in a playful, no-pressure environment. STEAM education teaches children to think outside the box and provides a multitude of benefits, including the development of soft skills like problem-solving and increasing motivation and engagement. Kids love Snapology’s activities because they are fun and involve building toys, iPads, and laptops, and parents love the programs because their children are being introduced to educational concepts that will better prepare them for their future.

Because children are our future, Snapology is doing our part to use creative play and these programs as building blocks to prepare them for life’s challenges. We design our curriculum to assist kids of all education levels and backgrounds, from gifted to special needs, including those on the autism spectrum. Our educational franchise has received countless awards and recognitions and has been the No. 1 ranked children’s enrichment franchise in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 for the past two consecutive years (2021-2022). Here are a few great reasons you should consider franchising with Snapology:

• The Snapology Program is Fun: If it isn’t fun, kids will lose interest. Snapology camps and programs provide the right balance between fun and education to appeal equally to children and their parents. Program examples include STEAM, video game design, robotics, birthdays, competitions, and team building.

• Dozens of Revenue Streams: Imagine the possibilities with the over 80 different program topics and themes to offer for classes, parties, summer camps, scouting events…and the list goes on.

• Multiple Paths to Success: Snapology offers a flexible business model focused on teaching robotics and STEAM principles. We can offer programs through a community-based (mobile) model or in your own Discovery Center.
• Strategically Designed Territories: Our domestic and international territories feature ripe operating areas that will maximize the potential of your Snapology location.

Snapology is so much more than just an education franchise. We are a provider of kid-friendly programs and camps that enhance the lives of children. We also offer compassionate entrepreneurs the opportunity to build a better future for themselves and their communities.We designed our business model to foster a collaborative environment among our owners and a supportive environment for families from under-served communities or with special needs children. As you’ll discover, Snapology’s value proposition sits at the intersection of collaboration and community.

• Collaboration: Each of our owners adds value to our education franchise and we continue to grow stronger from the feedback and ideas provided by them, their staff, and customers.

• Community: Every child deserves access to educational resources, which is why Snapology works within our communities to ensure that every child, no matter their background or learning ability, has access to our academic enrichment programs.
