Searching for a Preschool Franchise?

Consider the Financially Smarter Alternative: ABA Therapy

If you’re exploring the idea of opening a preschool franchise, you’re likely looking for a rewarding business that helps children grow while providing steady income.

But before you commit to a preschool model that relies on out-of-pocket tuition, consider a more sustainable and impactful opportunity: owning your own ABA therapy clinic through Success On The Spectrum (SOS)—the best ABA franchise in the country. Our model combines financial stability, growing demand, and a mission that truly changes lives.

Stability Starts with a Smarter Revenue Model

Preschool vs. ABA Clinic

A stable, recession-resistant model vs. a tuition-dependent gamble

Preschool Franchise
  • Preschool and childcare centers rely entirely on parent-paid tuition, which is limited by what families can afford. On average, preschools collect $800-$1400/month per child.
  • Preschool franchises are often at the mercy of external factors like job loss or economic instability, which can cause families to pause or cancel services. 
  • The Preschool market is crowded. In most cities, parents can choose from dozens of daycares, preschools, and home-based centers—all competing on discounts, convenience, and curriculum.
  • A Preschool franchise often depends on paid ads, digital marketing, special promotions, and constant community outreach to maintain enrollment. Owners commonly spend thousands every month just to stay visible.
ABA Therapy Clinic (SOS)
  • ABA therapy is a healthcare service — meaning insurance covers the cost, not the client. Health Insurances pay an average of $10,000/month per child.
  • Because insurance covers services year-round, ABA centers are recession-proof during national or local economic downturns.
  • There are not enough ABA centers to support the growing number of children being diagnosed with Autism. Even big cities with numerous ABA clinics experience long waitlists and unmet demand.
  • Most ABA clinics stay full without a single paid advertisement, simply due to the shortage of services. This dramatically reduces overhead costs and increases profitability.
Why It Matters

If you’re comparing the long-term benefits of opening a Preschool franchise versus an ABA therapy clinic, the difference is obvious:

✔ High demand that grows every year
✔ Very low competition in every market
✔ No need for paid advertising
✔ Insurance-funded, recession-proof revenue
✔ Not dependent on parent disposable income
✔ No tuition collection
✔ Clinically necessary, year-round services

ABA therapy offers a more stable, predictable, and financially secure path for entrepreneurs who want a purpose-driven business that truly helps families.
