Impact your local community
In 1999, college student Sarah Nuse transformed necessity into opportunity when she began teaching dance classes to young children at a local daycare, inspired by her dance-instructor mother’s guidance. More than two decades later, Tippi Toes has blossomed into a thriving franchise network with over 80 locations nationwide.
The brand gained national recognition after an appearance on ABC’s “Shark Tank” with Mark Cuban, catapulting Tippi Toes to become one of the most sought-after names in children’s enrichment programming. With momentum continuing to build, Tippi Toes is on track to reach the impressive milestone of 100+ locations by 2026, demonstrating the enduring appeal and robust business model that drives our franchise success.
Today’s parents and children are seeking meaningful experiences beyond the home, with families increasingly prioritizing enrichment activities that combine fun with developmental benefits. After years of growth and refining its operational model, Tippi Toes is capitalizing on the current boom in children’s enrichment to accelerate its development efforts and establish its presence in valuable markets across the U.S.
Now is the time to secure your market of interest before an existing franchisee takes on the neighboring territory or a new prospect takes advantage of the opportunity.
