🏆 **BIG NEWS for the Goddard family!** 🏆
We are incredibly excited to celebrate our owner, **Dave Collins**, who has been named a **2026 Franchisee of the Year** by the International Franchise Association! 🎉
Dave was honored this week at the IFA Advocacy Summit in Washington, D.C., where franchise owners from across the country came together to celebrate the people who are making a difference in their businesses, their communities, and the franchise industry.
Anyone who knows Dave knows that this recognition is about so much more than running a successful business. Dave is always looking for ways to support our schools, our teachers, our families, and the communities we are lucky enough to be a part of. He leads with heart, invests in his team, and is always finding ways to make our Goddard schools even better. 💙
The Franchisee of the Year award recognizes franchise owners who demonstrate strong community involvement, build and support a great workforce, help fellow franchisees, and embody the entrepreneurial spirit.
**Congratulations, Dave!** 🎉 We are so proud to have you leading our Goddard family, and we are excited to celebrate this well-deserved honor with you! 🥳👏
Here’s to you, Dave! 🏆💙
