Pingu’s English Croatia is marking a major milestone in its franchise journey. After launching its first franchised center in Slavonski Brod in 2024, the brand has rapidly built a strong reputation among parents for delivering fun, safe, and effective early years English education. Now, as part of its strategic franchise expansion, Pingu’s English Croatia is preparing to open new centers in Zadar and Dvor in September 2025 – bringing its globally recognised, play-based learning methodology to more children and communities across the country?
Pingu’s English Croatia began its franchise journey in 2024 with the opening of its first center in Slavonski Brod. From the outset, the mission was clear: deliver a fun, safe, and effective English learning experience for young children, built around the globally recognised Pingu’s English franchise methodology.
In just one year, this franchised center became a trusted choice for parents, enrolling many children and building a reputation for high-quality early years English education. The success in Slavonski Brod proved that the Pingu’s English franchise model could thrive in the Croatian market, paving the way for national expansion.
Building on this early success, 2025 marks the start of a bold franchise expansion strategy.
Preparations are now underway for two new Pingu’s English franchised schools:
Both schools are scheduled to officially open in September 2025, with launch events and open days giving local families the chance to explore the facilities, meet staff, and learn more about the Pingu’s English methodology.
