If you are looking for information on the Bricks 4 Kidz franchise business opportunity, Bricks for Kids franchises or Bricks 4 Kidz franchising, then you have come to the right place.
The BRICKS 4 KIDZ model, was founded by Michelle Cote in St. Augustine, FL. In the Spring of 2008 while filling out forms to become a "School Board Vendor," Michelle noticed a category (on the form) for "Creative Science." Michelle was reminded of how her son loves to play with Lego® bricks, and thought to herself ... "Maybe I could lead a Creative Science Lego® class in addition to teaching a Spanish class."
Michelle was awarded the bid for both the after- school Spanish and the Creative Science Lego® class. That summer Michelle advertised a Spanish Camp and a Lego® Camp. She had 3 children sign up for the Spanish and 35 children sign up for the Lego® camp!
After seeing the excitement over the Lego® bricks, Michelle decided to focus her efforts on the Lego® after-school class in the fall...and it took off! That Fall, Michelle found herself at 3 different elementary schools with an average of 20 students in each class every week. Now, just a year later, Michelle has contracts with 10 schools in the St. Augustine area!
In addition to teaching classes in public schools, Michelle also taught a home school Lego® class during the day while her children were at school.Bricks 4 Kidz provides project-based programs designed to teach principles and methods of engineering to children, ages 3-12, using LEGO® bricks.

Here is a summary of our franchise program:
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
