Facilities

  • The school occupies a purpose-built 6,500-square-foot facility with six classrooms and draws more than 80% of its families from within 15 minutes of campus. The sale includes the franchise rights (subject to franchisor approval), all furniture, fixtures and equipment, the curriculum and enrollment base, the trained staff (at the buyer's option), and assignment of the lease (subject to landlord consent).

Market Outlook/Competition

  • U.S. day care and early-education revenue is about $73.8 billion in 2026 (IBISWorld), with modest growth of about 0.9% a year since 2021. The industry is mature at the national level. Results vary mainly with local demographics, pricing power and staffing. The premium half-day niche serves families who choose part-time, education-focused programs rather than full-day care, and it competes on curriculum, environment and reputation rather than price. The school competes with a range of early-education providers, mostly full-day franchised centers, about eight, and competes as a premium half-day program with a Montessori/Reggio/Multiple Intelligences curriculum, a specialty few local competitors offer in this format.
