A
Service of NETA
The
National Enrichment
Teachers Association was founded to provide enrichment
programs with Certified Enrichment Teachers who possess
the tools and knowledge to teach their classes safely,
effectively and at the highest professional standards in
the industry.
NETA-certified teachers, training programs, ASA
consulting services and school fundraising programs are
among the most sought after in the country because
the training we provide is so exacting in its
specifications and so comprehensive in its scope.
Setting Professional Standards
Owning and operating an
after school business of the highest quality, which is
at once fulfilling for your clients and profitable to
you, takes effort, commitment and know how. The After
School Advantage Program was established to educate
future business owners in the school enrichment field,
using techniques that have made us successful. Our
techniques and methods have been refined over twenty
years of trial and error. And believe us when we tell
you that when it comes to serving schools, parents and
their children, there is no substitute for doing it
right the first time. As a future business
owner, you will not have to go through the long learning
process we did. The techniques we teach through the ASA
Program shortcut the learning curve. There are no
gimmicks, no magic formulas – just a precise, detailed
methodology of getting your new enrichment company up
and running.
We at the National
Enrichment Teachers Association know that after school
enrichment programming is personally rewarding, very
lucrative and makes an important contribution to one’s
community. We feel it is incumbent upon the enrichment
industry to diligently regulate itself by setting and
enforcing high standards in order to ensure the safety
of the children and to elevate the profession as a
whole.
The
National Enrichment Teachers Association is proud to be
setting the standard for high quality training,
certification and consulting services for the enrichment
industry. NETA’s personnel are a diverse cross-section
of the enrichment community, representing virtually
every field this industry has to offer. Our team
members are teachers, administrators, program owners and
consultants with long-standing history in the enrichment
community. When you come to us for your training and
consulting needs, you are learning from the best.
In our twenty-plus
years in the after school enrichment industry, we have
had many successes (and a few hard-learned lessons), and
we have refined our experiences into the After School
Advantage business model.
Your curriculum coupled with our
business model and the comprehensive business start-up
materials which accompany our training will be the
foundation on which you build your own
enrichment company. You will hit
the ground running.

right way.
Not a Franchise and Proud of it!
It has been said that “You can’t get rich by
working for someone else”. It’s true – you can’t. And yet,
countless numbers of would-be entrepreneurs have bought into the idea
that the road to financial independence is paved by buying into a
franchise.
When you
buy into a franchise, you are not working directly for the franchise.
However, the fruits of your labor will find its way into someone
else’s pockets. After paying the requisite franchise fee, you may
also have to pay royalties and territory licensing fees. Royalties are
paid to a franchise for the “privilege” of using their name and logo,
and they must be paid for as long as your contract states, rain or
shine, good times or bad. Territory licensing fees serve a dual
purpose: to limit where you can operate and to buy assurances that the
franchise won’t license anyone else to operate in your vicinity. But
what kind of assurance is that, really? You will always have
some sort of competition no matter where you operate, regardless of how
much “protection money” you pay. Is paying all that money worth it just
to be told when and where you can operate?
With the
National Enrichment Teachers Association’s After School Advantage
Program, you will receive world class training and support. When you
pitch your program to a school, you are being backed by twenty-plus
years of our experience and history. And the best part is, you will not
have to continually pay into the franchise system. The money you
would pay to a franchise in royalties and licensing fees should be money
that lines your pockets or is invested back into your business.
After all, it’s your time, your investment and the rewards reaped from
hard work are deservedly yours. That is
self-determination. That is independence. That
is the point of owning and operating a business.
NETA Mission Statement
The National Enrichment
Teachers Association is dedicated to providing quality instruction to
enrichment professionals through our training, certification, consulting
and continuing education programs. As a leading proponent of the cause
of enrichment, NETA continues to lobby for governmental support at the
local, state and federal level by initiating or introducing legislation
providing for the continued funding of enrichment, outreach and after
school programs as well as legislation that mandates training and
certification for enrichment professionals, thereby establishing a
uniform set of standards and practices on which these professionals and
those that they serve can depend.
