We’ve honed our expertise and sparked a love of learning through play with millions of children and parents for over 45 years and in over 30 countries.
Our franchisees come from all walks of life, but they share a common passion for running their own business and for helping young minds develop. Running a Gymboree Play & Music franchise is both challenging and personally fulfilling. We will train and support you in required disciplines to help you succeed.
Mobile: a chance to bring the Gymboree Play & Music programming to your community without a commercial space! Our mobile model works well in daycares, preschools, libraries, community centers…any location that is easily accessible to families with young children and that has 900 to 1500 sq. ft. of available space to create playscapes using our state-of-the art equipment.
Brick & Mortar: our traditional model in a commercial location, offering classes, events, and birthday parties for families with young children:
Metro Play Center (1,700 – 2,500 sq. ft.): includes a large play floor with a state-of-the-art equipment package. The Metro model does NOT include a secondary room or offer Art or Music classes.
Play & Music Center (2,000 – 2,800 sq. ft.): includes a large play floor with a state-of-the art equipment package, plus a smaller secondary room to offer Art and Music classes.
