Description
Rare opportunity to acquire a high-capacity (156 license), cash-flowing preschool in a supply-constrained South Bay market. The business is currently operating at scale with 185+ enrolled students and generates approximately $370K+ in Seller’s Discretionary Earnings.
Recently repositioned with a price reduction to $1.50M and a fully rebuilt, lender-ready P&L with supportable add-backs, this opportunity now aligns with how serious buyers underwrite.
Key Investment Highlights:
-156 licensed capacity in a coastal, barrier-to-entry market
-185+ enrolled students demonstrating excess demand and scheduling optimization
-~$370K+ SDE with clean, supportable add-backs
-Price reduced from $1.99M to $1.50M
-New 10-year lease providing long-term operational control
-Established business with decades of operating history and strong community presence
-Immediate upside through tuition alignment and labor optimization
Operational Positioning
This is not a turnaround. Core operations are stable, staffed, and systemized. A more disciplined operator can increase profitability through pricing alignment and labor efficiency without needing to increase enrollment.
Market Position
Opportunities of this scale in coastal infill markets are rarely available due to zoning and licensing constraints. Replicating this operation today would require significant time, capital, and entitlement risk.

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.

Comprehensive financials, lease details, enrollment data, and operational information are available upon execution of a confidential NDA.
