“We are delighted by our rapid growth,” says Anne Gordon, VP International Business Development. “Today, more and more business people recognise the huge benefits of joining the Helen Doron franchise network. They benefit both from our top level pedagogic methodologies and extensive franchise business experience. We aim at further increasing our presence in existing markets, penetrating new markets and continually enriching our scope of programs."

The Helen Doron Group has been at the forefront of the now booming early education market for 20 years and has steadily expanded to more than 260 Learning Centres, with a presence in over 20 countries worldwide. Early Education has progressively become one of the fastest growing niche markets in the world. Recognizing the need for learning methods that are fun and enjoyable as well as highly effective, internationally acclaimed linguist Helen Doron built her method into a dynamic global franchise.

English is the international language and mathematics is the universal language.

The Helen Doron Group offers both:

• Early English is an easy, natural method of teaching English to children aged 3 months to 14 years.
• Mathjogs is a state-of-the-art method for nurturing mathematical thinking and practical skills for children from 4 to 11 years.

Both are unique methodologies, each fun and playful, designed to build children’s confidence, self-esteem and cognitive aptitude.
