Be A Franchisee Who Makes A Difference

All potential franchise owners share one thing in common: the desire to make a strong investment that provides a big return. But, today, many prospective franchisees share another thing in common: the desire to make a difference.

A Growing Crisis That Demands Attention

• Childhood obesity has more than doubled in the past 30 years.
• 18% of American children ages 6–11 years old were obese in 2012 – up from just 7 percent in 1980.
• Also in 2012, more than a third of American children were either overweight or obese.

Experts debate the causes of this crisis. But at Tumbles, we’re focused on solutions.

A Franchise That Gets Kids Moving & Thinking

Tumbles is a kids play franchise that offers children of all ages safe, fun environments — Learning Playgrounds as we call them. Not only does each Tumbles location give children the opportunity to become active, each also provides the chance for children to explore independently, to take safe and measured risks, and to interact with peers in an organic and unstructured way — all characteristics that promote accelerated child development.

At Tumbles, our mission is both simple and ambitious: shaping young minds and bodies of the future.
