Established preschool and childcare center in the Lafayette / Acadiana, Louisiana market, available for acquisition after 20+ years of continuous operation (established 2003). This is a turn-key opportunity with documented, mapped upside for the next owner.
The business holds a Louisiana Type 3 license and a CLASS High Proficient rating — the state's highest quality designation — and has built two decades of community goodwill and a strong word-of-mouth referral base with minimal advertising spend to date.
HIGHLIGHTS:
• 20+ years in continuous operation; stable, trusted reputation in the community
• Louisiana Type 3 / CLASS High Proficient — top state quality rating
• Seven-figure annual gross revenue (primarily tuition)
• Three-building campus on a 0.60-acre lot; commercial real estate available separately or as a package
• Trained staff and established operating systems already in place
• FF&E (~$93,000) included
DOCUMENTED VALUE-ADD (no added staff, facilities, or capital required):
• The center currently operates at roughly two-thirds of licensed capacity, against an industry benchmark of 90%+ — meaningful open enrollment to fill
• Tuition currently runs well below comparable local market rates, leaving clear room for normalization
• Together, these two levers represent substantial measurable revenue upside, detailed in the confidential package
Strong candidate for SBA 7(a) financing for qualified buyers, including existing childcare operators expanding to an additional location. Ideal for an operator, owner-operator, or investor.
Full financials, valuation detail, photos, and business identity are released to qualified buyers under a mutual NDA. Serious, financially-qualified inquiries only.
