GYMBOREE PLAY & MUSIC has been providing childhood development programs for young children and their parents for 30 years. GYMBOREE's core belief is that children should develop at their own pace via physical, mental and creative activities in a fun environment-with parents by their side. There are more than 500 GYMBOREE locations in 24 countries. Franchisees have access to a wide selection of branded consumer products for resale, and gain a competitive advantage with children's clothing stores.
