Education & Children Businesses for Sale

  • Primary Category: Day Care & Child Care Centers for Sale

This turnkey, well-maintained childcare center in a desirable Lindbergh-area neighborhood presents an excellent ownership or investment opportunity. Originally built as a KinderCare, the facility offers approximately 4,500 sq. ft. of indoor space and 9,500 sq. ft. of secure outdoor play area, an efficient classroom-driven layout, a full commercial kitchen, four classroom bathrooms, a welcoming foyer, private office, and conference room. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) valued at about $60,000 are included for a smooth, immediate transition.

The center is staffed by a reliable team of ten (eight full-time, two part-time) and benefits from strong local demographics—an area served by sought-after Lindbergh schools that attracts young families. There are only two major competitors nearby and the center receives steady inquiries without active marketing. Prior to COVID the business experienced solid enrollment growth; an experienced operator with basic marketing and community outreach can quickly rebuild and expand enrollment and revenue.

Key selling points: move-in ready, clean facility; expansive outdoor space; included FF&E; favorable neighborhood demographics; minimal direct competition; and steady market interest. Consideration: labor costs are slightly higher in this market to attract and retain quality teachers, which an owner-operator can manage through targeted staffing strategies and tuition adjustments.

Ideal for an experienced childcare owner looking to add a second location or for an investor/operator ready to grow a proven, well-located center.
