About this business

This is a licensed child care center serving infants through school-age children, built over 30 years into one of the most trusted providers in its local market. Seven fully staffed classrooms operate with a qualified lead teacher and assistant in each, maintaining teacher-to-child ratios in line with state standards. The business draws new families almost entirely through referrals and word-of-mouth, a sign of the reputation it has earned with working families across the area.

The operation runs with a stable, low-turnover team, replacing only one or two teachers per year in an industry known for high churn. Each classroom teacher holds a CDA credential or a degree in Early Childhood Education, and staff attend ongoing professional development to stay current. Revenue has grown year over year and crossed $1M annually. The owner reports that virtually all revenue is recurring, reflecting the long-term relationships the center builds with the families it serves.

The owner and her mother have been hands-on for three decades and are now ready to transition the business to a new owner. She is willing to provide one to three months of transition support, and the experienced staff are expected to remain. The standout: the owner herself notes the business could be run by a qualified absentee owner, making this a rare find in the child care sector.
