Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ducklings Early Learning Center growing or shrinking?

Ducklings Early Learning Center doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2025 and FY2026 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #59 of 170 Health, Senior & Child Care brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.

How much does it cost to open a Ducklings Early Learning Center franchise?

We don't have that figure -- investment ranges and fees come from a franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which this site doesn't parse (see methodology). The average SBA loan size of $603K (81% above the typical Health, Senior & Child Care brand's $333K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.

What's the SBA loan default rate for Ducklings Early Learning Center?

Ducklings Early Learning Center only has 11 SBA loans on record -- too few to calculate a meaningful charge-off rate on its own. For context, Health, Senior & Child Care brands overall see a 1.1% charge-off rate across 3,806 loans.
