Item 19
What Creative Kids Movement Network franchisees actually report earning
Creative Kids Movement Network's 2026 FDD publishes no median in its Item 19. What it publishes instead is set out below, in the document's own terms. An average is not a median: it is pulled upward by the strongest outlets, and it does not tell you what the middle outlet made. We do not calculate a median the document does not state.
The information below is based on historical data for the Corporate Business for the fiscal years ending 2022 through 2025.
What the FDD does publish

A dash means the FDD does not print that figure. Creative Kids Movement Network's Item 19 covers the Fiscal years ending 2022 through 2025. Basis: The Gross Revenue of our Parent’s corporate outlet (the “Corporate Business”).
What the franchisor excluded from these figures
- We omitted the Gross Revenues of the 6 franchisees from this Item 19 because those franchisees opened in 2025 were in operation for less than 12 months as of December 31, 2025.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Creative Kids Movement Network outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
