Ask before you sign

  1. Speak to at least 3 franchisees who have run an outlet for 2+ years and see their actual monthly sales and profit — a franchisor making money doesn't mean its franchisees do.
  2. Ask for every upfront payment in writing — deposit, onboarding, equipment or stock — and which parts are refundable.
  3. Ask exactly how your margin or commission is calculated, when it's paid, and whether the brand can change it.

    About the Brand

    Brand USP

    A Noida-based Montessori preschool and daycare franchise with no royalty but company-priced kits.

    Parent CompanyJalsa Ventures Private Limited
    HeadquartersNoida, Uttar Pradesh
    Cambridge Montessori Preschool and Daycare (CMPS) runs Montessori preschools and daycare for children from about 1 to 6 years, with programmes named Little Hearts, Tender Hearts, Nursery, LKG and UKG, plus a Mind Lab and daycare. Its site names the operator as Cambridge Montessori Preschool and Daycare Private Limited, a Jalsa Ventures group company with its office in Noida. Its location page lists about 325 centres marked Admission Open across 25 Indian states and union territories as of 24 Oct 2026 (the page repeats many centres under variant spellings; our count merges them, and counting every distinct spelling gives 335 excluding Nepal), plus a further list marked coming soon. CMPS says a franchise needs 3,000 to 10,000 sq ft, owned or rented and approved by its operations team, and an initial investment of Rs 10-12 lakh including set-up and fees on its main franchise page, and says the total may go up to Rs 1 crore in some cities. Another page of its site (International Play School) says a minimum of Rs 10-20 lakh. It says it charges no royalty and instead uses 'kit-based pricing' set by city tier and gross fees, which can rise each year, and some items must be bought from the company. It claims an ROI of 40-50% without saying over what period or on what basis. The franchise fee amount is not published, it is paid upfront at signing, and its main franchise page says agreements typically run five years, renewable, while its FAQ says 5 or 10 years. What to watch: the ROI claim has no basis or time period, the investment figure differs between its own pages, and the 'kit price' is the company's income from you, so ask for the current kit price list and the rise history. The page also says CMPS does '100% management' of running preschools, which is unclear next to a franchisee-owned model. The site carries a public notice that its name has been misused. No complaint or court case was found in our searches, but no franchisee reviews were found either, so speak to several current franchisees before you commit.
