Key Highlights: Over 130-Child Licensed Capacity Fully Enrolled with classroom waitlists Ground Lease: 39 years remaining, NNN, CPI-based increases with 4% floor Monthly Rent: $3,090 NNN (well below market) Facility Size: 7,633 sq ft on 0.61 acres Facility & Improvements: The preschool is operated in a purpose-built facility with multiple classrooms, outdoor playgrounds, and ample parking.

Yolo County, California
Long-Standing Child Care Center | 83-Lic. | Turnkey | Value-Add
$ 1,570,000
This is a rare chance to acquire a fully licensed child care center in a prime Northern California community. With a total capacity of 83 children, this turnkey operation combines both the real estate and the business into one purchase price, creating a highly attractive offering for investors, operators, or educational groups looking to expand. The property is purpose-built for child care and is uniquely positioned within a thriving residential neighborhood, surrounded by family housing and multifamily developments. Parents in the area consistently seek out quality care options, and the demographics support strong ongoing demand for child care services. Facilities like this, with established licensing in place, are extremely difficult to replicate today due to zoning restrictions, construction costs, and regulatory hurdles. Key highlights of this opportunity include: Large licensed capacity of 83 children, suitable for infant, toddler, and preschool age programs. Business and real estate included together in the purchase price. Generous square footage designed specifically for child care operations with multiple classrooms, administrative areas, play yards, and secure access. Strong community presence with a longstanding reputation. Positioned for growth with new energy, updated systems, and modern marketing. Below market pricing when compared to similar licensed facilities and recent sales of comparable commercial properties in the region. The business has been family operated for many years, and the current owners are ready to transition into retirement. While the financial performance in recent years reflects reduced involvement and limited reinvestment, this creates a perfect opening for a new operator to step in and revitalize the center. By implementing refreshed advertising, modern enrollment systems, and optimized staffing, there is significant upside potential to increase enrollment and restore profitability. Real estate values in this city are consistently strong, and the offering is currently priced near the underlying real estate valuation. Effectively, a buyer is acquiring the business at no additional cost. This combination of licensed child care capacity and hard asset ownership creates long term stability and a built-in hedge against inflation. Opportunities like this are seldom available. Whether you are a current operator looking to add a location, a first-time buyer interested in a proven child care model, or an investor seeking a solid real estate play with immediate licensing upside, this property offers everything you need to succeed. Further details including financials, property specifications, and operational history are available upon signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement.

San Bernardino County, California
Turnkey Preschool with Real Estate | 122-License | Major Upside.
$ 2,850,000
This is a rare opportunity to acquire both a fully operational preschool business and the real estate it occupies in a prime Inland Empire location. With a large licensed capacity and substantial real estate footprint, this property and business combination is built for both immediate cash flow and long term growth. The facility spans over 6,000 square feet on a generous parcel with secure gated outdoor space, multiple playgrounds, and classrooms configured to meet a wide range of age groups. The school is fully licensed for well over 100 children, making it one of the larger centers in the region. This type of licensing capacity is increasingly difficult to obtain in California, giving the next owner a strategic advantage. Current enrollment sits below licensed capacity, which opens the door to significant upside for a new operator. With strong demographics in the surrounding area and a consistent demand for quality child care, there is an immediate opportunity to increase both enrollment and revenue. A new owner can also benefit from aligning tuition rates with prevailing market averages and fully utilizing state and federal funding programs for child care subsidies. The real estate is included in the asking price, providing buyers with the security of owning a hard asset in addition to the cash flowing business. The building has undergone recent capital improvements, including mechanical upgrades and facility enhancements, which reduce near term maintenance costs and add long term value. Staffing is in place with experienced teachers and support personnel, and the business has established systems and operations that allow for a smooth transition. For buyers who already own child care facilities, this is an excellent opportunity to expand into a high capacity site. For new buyers, this is a turnkey entry point into the sector with real estate included, which is not common. Key highlights include: Licensed capacity exceeding 100 children Over 6,000 square feet of facility space plus outdoor play areas Real estate included in the purchase price Recent capital improvements completed Established staff and operational systems in place Immediate value add by increasing enrollment and aligning tuition Access to multiple funding and subsidy programs to strengthen revenues Located in a strong residential community with growing demand for child care This offering combines the best of both worlds: a stabilized business with operational infrastructure and a real estate holding in a highly desirable market. The path to increased value is clear, and the upside is tangible. Interested parties will be required to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to receive the full Offering Memorandum, detailed financials, and property address. Serious and qualified buyers only.
