Established Daycare Center – 40 Years | Strong Cash Flow | Expansion Potential
This well-established childcare center has been serving the community since 1983 and presents a rare opportunity to acquire a long-standing, reputable operation with significant upside. The current owner has operated the business since 2010 and is ready to transition, creating an ideal opportunity for an owner-operator or expanding childcare group.
The center is currently licensed for 130 children and operates out of a spacious 10,000 square foot facility, with the potential to expand capacity to 200 students. Enrollment is currently around 98 children, leaving substantial room for growth without the need for major capital investment.
The business is fully staffed with 15 employees, including a co-director who is familiar with daily operations and could step into a leadership role, providing continuity for a new owner. The facility was purpose-built as a daycare and has seen recent upgrades including new flooring, lighting, and major HVAC improvements.
Revenue is approximately $730,000 annually, with consistent cash flow. The center benefits from a stable mix of private pay and government-subsidized (CCMS) students, with payments now running reliably after prior system improvements.
Additional highlights include:
- 3 operational buses (4 total) for student transportation
- Long-term lease opportunity with favorable terms
- Large physical footprint with significant unused capacity
- Established reputation with decades of operating history
- Turnkey operation with systems already in place (Brightwheel, QuickBooks)
Growth opportunities include increasing enrollment to licensed capacity, implementing the food program for additional revenue, and optimizing staffing and systems.
This is a turnkey childcare business with a proven track record, strong infrastructure, and clear paths to scale. Ideal for both first-time buyers and experienced operators looking to expand in a high-demand industry.
