High-Revenue Education Business with Proven Demand
$ 1,800,000
This offering presents a rare opportunity to acquire a large scale, well established education business with decades of operating history, strong revenue, and a structure that aligns with current buyer and lender expectations. NDA Link: https://childcareinsite.com/ee546412 The business has been recently repriced to reflect market reality, positioning it squarely in the execution zone for experienced operators seeking scale, stability, and growth without the capital burden of real estate ownership. This is a proven education platform with real infrastructure and sustained demand. The operation serves a broad age range, supporting long student tenure and consistent enrollment. Annual revenue exceeds $2.0M, driven primarily by private pay tuition. Established systems, curriculum, and staffing are already in place, allowing a buyer to step into operations with minimal disruption.

This opportunity is best suited for experienced education operators, Montessori platforms, and multi site groups seeking a durable California presence.

Turnkey Preschool | 164-License | Biz & RE | Strong Cash Flow..
$ 6,900,000
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving, fully operational preschool business with accompanying real estate in a desirable Northern California location. This offering includes a large, licensed child care center that serves infants through school-age children. The school has a long-standing reputation for quality care, a seasoned administrative team, and a strong enrollment base. It also includes valuable real estate with upside potential for expansion or additional tenant income. NDA Link: https://childcareinsite.com/li56415321/ The center holds licenses for infant care, preschool-aged children, and school-age programs. It currently enrolls over 100 students and has capacity to grow further. The school operates in a well-maintained, purpose-built facility spanning over 15,000 square feet and situated on a large lot with dedicated parking, playgrounds, and thoughtfully configured classroom layouts. Parents are drawn to the center for its clean environment, stable staff, and consistent programming. Staffing is anchored by a senior director with over a decade of experience, a long-tenured assistant director, and a core team of teachers and aides. The owners have invested in both program quality and physical infrastructure, positioning the school to continue performing well under new ownership. The financials reflect a stable and scalable business model with multiple revenue streams, including full-time, part-time, and school-age tuition. In addition, the center receives regular subsidy payments from regional and military-affiliated programs, further diversifying income and making it more recession resistant. The property also includes additional commercial space that is partially leased to another tenant, providing further upside through passive rental income or room for future program expansion. A buyer will step into a turnkey operation that includes all staff, curriculum, systems, and community goodwill. Everything is in place to allow a new owner to focus on growth, whether through increased enrollment, tuition optimization, or programmatic expansion. There is also room to enhance marketing efforts, leverage digital outreach, or expand operating hours to meet increasing parent demand. This opportunity would be an ideal fit for an owner-operator, experienced child care group, or private equity investor seeking a stable asset with real estate included. Buyers interested in long-term wealth creation through high-demand, community-based services will find this offering to be a compelling option. Financials and site-specific details will be provided after the completion of a Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Thousand Palms, California
High Capacity Licensed Child Care Real Estate Opportunity
This offering presents a rare opportunity to acquire a large, licensed child care real estate asset with an established tenant in place and meaningful long-term upside. To access the information, please complete the NDA at the link: https://childcareinsite.com/hr456215 The property is improved with approximately 11,000 square feet of purpose-built and modular structures situated on a large parcel nearing two acres. The site supports a high-capacity child care license across multiple age groups and has historically operated at materially higher licensed levels, creating future flexibility for investors or owner users planning a repositioning. The asset is currently tenant occupied under a lease in place through late 2026. The tenant is responsible for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance, resulting in a low management burden for ownership. The tenant has also expressed verbal interest in remaining beyond the current lease term, though no extension is in writing. From a real estate standpoint, this property is exceptionally difficult to replicate. Comparable child care facilities in the region are typically located on far smaller parcels with limited outdoor space and constrained parking. This site benefits from expansive gated play areas, strong circulation, and a layout designed to support full licensed capacity. The land component alone provides durable value independent of the current tenant. The property is well suited for multiple buyer profiles, including investors seeking stable tenancy with future upside, owner operators planning a transition upon lease expiration, and groups seeking a high-capacity licensed site in a supply-constrained market. Future value drivers may include license expansion, lease restructuring at market terms, or conversion to owner occupied use. The offering is being marketed as a real estate transaction only. The operating business is not included in the sale. Any future discussion regarding business operations would be subject to separate negotiation directly with the tenant and is not part of the current offering. Due to the specialized nature of this asset and the licensing component, additional information is available by Non-Disclosure Agreement only.

Licensed Preschool & RE | Affluent Demographics | SBA Eligible
$ 2,700,000
Description A rare opportunity to acquire both the business and real estate of a licensed preschool and early childhood education facility in one of Southern California’s most affluent, family-oriented communities. With nearly 90 licensed slots, prime demographics, and an irreplaceable location, this offering presents substantial upside for operators, investors, and education groups seeking scale in a high-demand market. NDA Link: https://childcareinsite.com/ht5465441/ Property Overview The facility features more than 4,500 square feet of interior space situated on over half an acre, with multiple classrooms, administrative offices, restrooms, and well-designed outdoor play areas. The site is purpose-built for early education and meets licensing requirements, with zoning that allows for educational use and flexibility for other commercial applications. The property’s visibility, accessibility, and presence in a land-constrained market make it highly attractive to both operators and investors. Business Overview This preschool has served the local community for more than two decades, earning a trusted reputation and strong online reviews. Current operations run below the licensed capacity, which provides a clear opportunity for new ownership to expand enrollment and significantly increase revenues. The combination of brand goodwill, established licensing, and operational infrastructure offers a strong foundation for a buyer to build upon. Growth Potential * Enrollment Expansion: With capacity for nearly 90 children, enrollment growth represents the most immediate opportunity to boost gross revenue by 40–50%. * Tuition Optimization: Current rates can be aligned with prevailing market benchmarks in this affluent trade area, increasing per-child revenue. * Program Enhancements: Demand supports the introduction of enrichment programs such as STEM, arts, music, language, and before/after school care. * Facility Upgrades: Targeted investments in classrooms, playgrounds, and curb appeal could modernize the facility and attract premium-paying families. * Subsidy Participation: Increasing participation in California child care subsidy programs (CSPP, CCTR, CACFP) could generate additional, stable revenue streams. Investment Highlights * Licensed capacity for nearly 90 children. * Purpose-built 4,500+ SF facility on a 0.56-acre parcel. * Over 20 years of continuous operation with strong community reputation. * Prime demographics with affluent, dual-income households and high educational spending. * Zoning allows educational use with potential for broader commercial applications. * Business and real estate offered together, eligible for SBA 7(a) or conventional financing. * Attractive to regional operators, national preschool chains, and private equity groups. Why This Opportunity Licensed preschool and child care facilities paired with real estate rarely come to market in this type of high-barrier-to-entry, affluent location. The combination of prime demographics, long-standing community trust, and a valuable license base creates immediate appeal, while the upside opportunities offer a compelling investment thesis. Next Steps Due to the confidential nature of this offering, further details—including financial performance, photos, videos, and a comprehensive offering memorandum—are available only upon execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Qualified buyers will have the opportunity to review full business and property information and discuss financing structures. This is a unique chance to acquire a preschool and real estate package with scale, upside, and long-term value in one of Southern California’s most desirable education markets.
