Childcare Center with Owned Real Estate - Southeast Texas
Business Description
This licensed childcare center has been serving families in Southeast Texas since opening in 2012 — built from the ground up without external financing and grown entirely through operations. The center holds a clean compliance record with just 2 minor deficiencies across nearly 5,000 standards evaluated over five years, serves multiple school district areas through school bus drop-off arrangements, and has built its reputation on consistent care and active local community involvement.
The school operates from a freestanding 3,500+ SF facility on 2.0+ acres of owned real estate in Southeast Texas. Licensed for 80+ children and currently operating with room to grow, the center is private-pay only — no subsidy administration — with tuition rates the seller acknowledges are below local market. A new owner can raise rates from day one. 2024 revenues were $290,000+. TRS certification and CACFP enrollment are both available to a new operator — neither has been pursued, which means the revenue and positioning upside is still sitting there. Real estate is owned and included in the sale at $485,000.
This is a hands-on owner-operator acquisition — a new owner steps in and positions the business for growth through pricing, TRS certification, CACFP enrollment, and enrollment expansion within the existing licensed footprint.
