Sylvan Learning Welcomes Franchisee in New Jersey

Sylvan Learning awarded a new territory in Sparta, N.J. to siblings George and Cristine Crescione.

The Cresciones run several family-owned businesses, including a real estate acquisitions business, school portraits studio and a marketing company. It was through the real estate company that they found Sylvan Learning.

“We researched several businesses to fill an open storefront in the heart of Sparta, and Sylvan was the perfect fit,” said George. “Not only does it compliment our other businesses, but it also fills a glaring gap for a one-stop resource of supplemental education support in our community.

As a former teacher, George was impressed with Sylvan’s results over four decades and advanced technology-based curriculum with trackable progress. “Those are key factors that will stand out to families in our community looking for the best possible support for their kids.”

“The Cresciones are a natural fit for New Jersey,” said Jeff Stephenson, Vice President of Franchise Development at Sylvan. “They are a family committed to serving other families, and with that dedication, we have no doubt they will run a successful, respected business. We look forward to supporting them as they join the Sylvan community.”
