## Story

Lutherville, Md. - Celebree School, a leader in early childhood education with 26 company-owned locations in Maryland and Delaware, today announced the signing of a franchise agreement with Britt McKenzie. His Celebree School will expand the company’s presence in Maryland, with a location in the Owings Mills area. The school is on track to open in late 2020 or early 2021.

“I knew a franchise was the right way for me to open my own business and it’s exciting being one of the first franchisees with Celebree,” said McKenzie. “I wanted to work with a company that is active in the community, family-oriented and one with a proven-track record. I was sold on Celebree School right away.”

Faculty and staff at Celebree School believe success in early childhood development is equal parts curriculum and connection that extends beyond the classroom and into the homes and neighborhoods of the students. The Celebree approach is not simply about educating the “whole child”, but the “whole family.”

“Britt has a strong understanding of our company’s dedication to students, families and the communities we serve,” said Richard Huffman, founder and CEO of Celebree. “He plans on being incredibly hands on as his school gets up and running and we look forward to seeing him realize his potential as a business owner.”

Celebree School franchises come with the resources an owner needs to start and run a successful business. Opportunities to open Celebree Schools are available in Maryland, Delaware, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Celebree School Grows People Big and Small™ – starting with students who range from six-weeks to school age and extending to parents, teachers and directors. Now people who want to own their own business can be part of Celebree School and channel their passion for the community into the success of their school.
