Sunny Microschools is Florida's leading micro-education franchise system, pioneering the transformation of how small-group learning is delivered. We've built the infrastructure that allows everyone to run profitable micro-schools from home while accepting Step-Up scholarships. Our proven system handles all the complex administrative, billing, and regulatory requirements, letting you focus on what you do best - teaching.

The Opportunity:
Launch one or multiple profitable micro-school pods from your home or various locations. Start with one morning pod of 2-3 students, then expand to afternoon pods, weekend tutoring, or even multiple locations. No commercial lease required, no inventory, no traditional franchise fees. You bring the students from your network - we provide everything else needed to run a professional education business. Many successful franchisees operate 2-3 pods serving different age groups or schedules, maximizing their income potential while maintaining flexibility.

2) Business Model:
Operate Monday-Friday mornings (or choose your schedule) teaching small groups of students whose families have Step-Up scholarships. Parents pay nothing out of pocket - scholarships cover everything. We receive the scholarship funds from the state and pay you $6,500-8,000 per student annually (after our $1,500 annual fee). Start with 2 students earning $13,000, scale to 6 students earning $39,000+. Many franchisees run multiple pods or expand to full days.

3) Requirements:
-1-2 families already interested in enrolling (from your network, families you've worked with, or your own children)
-These families must have or qualify for Step-Up scholarships (PEP or UA)
-Experience working with students (teaching, tutoring, paraprofessional, homeschooling)
-Space in your home or commercial lease(approximately 20 sq ft per student)
-Availability to teach (morning, afternoon, or full day - you choose)

4) What We Provide:
-Complete curriculum library and planning tools
-Custom school website built specifically for you
-Student management dashboard and admin systems
-Setup of Clever, IXL, and diagnostic assessment tools
-All Step-Up scholarship billing infrastructure - we handle all state paperwork
-Marketing materials, social media kit, and parent infographics
-Emotional and behavioral support toolkit
-24/7 human support and white-glove onboarding
-Ongoing training and curriculum updates

5) Investment Structure:
NO upfront costs - our $1,500 per student annual fee is deducted from scholarship funds before we pay you. No franchise fees, no royalties, no hidden costs. You never pay out of pocket. This annual per-student fee covers all ongoing support and systems. Compare this to traditional franchises requiring $50,000-200,000 upfront investment.

6) Who Succeeds in This Model:
Current/former teachers and paraprofessionals with strong parent relationships
Education professionals who already tutor families on the side
Parents who want to include their own special needs child while serving others
Anyone with teaching experience who has families that trust them

7) Next Steps:
Only inquire if you have at least ONE family ready to start immediately. To ensure mutual fit, please include the following in your inquiry:

- What is your experience working with students with learning differences or disabilities?
- Do you already know at least one family who might join your microschool? What grade level is their child?
- Does the child you have in mind already have an IEP or diagnosis?
- Do they have a Step Up for Students scholarship (PEP or UA)?
- Are you open to teaching 2-3 students in your home?
- Tell us about your current work schedule and what morning hours you have available.
