- Primary Category: Day Care & Child Care Centers for Sale
Owners are retiring
This well-established daycare center was founded in 2016 and is located in a rapidly growing residential area surrounded by single-family homes, townhomes, and multifamily communities, providing a strong and consistent base of potential families in need of childcare services.
The center is licensed and approved for up to 156 children and has a full team of experienced and loyal staff in place, including a Center Director, Assistant Director, qualified teachers, and a cook. The current owner primarily oversees operations, making this an excellent opportunity for either an owner-operator or an investor.
The business operates as a franchise of one of the most reputable childcare brands in the nation. The franchise has consistently been recognized among the top franchises in the industry, earning high rankings from organizations such as the International Franchise Association, Forbes Top Franchises, Franchise Times, and other leading publications. The brand’s strong reputation, advanced curriculum, and commitment to child safety continue to attract families and support enrollment growth.
Starting a daycare from the ground up is costly and time-consuming, often requiring over $1,000,000 in capital investment and 18–24 months to complete the process of finding a suitable location, negotiating a lease, designing the facility, hiring contractors, obtaining licenses, recruiting staff, and building enrollment to reach the breakeven point.
This center eliminates those challenges. It is fully operational, established, and already profitable, with significant room to grow. With stronger marketing, community outreach, and active ownership, the center has the potential to reach full capacity and generate over $3,000,000 in annual revenue.
