Overview
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established child care center in Davis, CA, with over 40 years of operation and a licensed capacity of 83 children. Located in the Greater Sacramento area, the business operates in a 4,795 sq ft facility on a 0.37-acre lot, purpose-built for child care in 1987. The property is debt-free, offering immediate cash flow, and features a unique PD 4-83 zoning designation in a residential R-1-6 area, ensuring its continued use as a child care center—a significant advantage for buyers.

Business Operations
The center currently enrolls 28-30 children, providing substantial growth potential to reach its full capacity of 83. It is supported by a dedicated staff of four qualified preschool teachers with 17-24 years of tenure, ensuring operational stability. Annual staff costs are $217,836, reflecting efficient staffing for the current enrollment. The business has a strong historical performance, with gross revenues peaking at $436,512 in 2023 and net profits of $107,244 in 2022. The 2024 revenue of $270,106 reflects a decline due to minimal marketing by the retiring owners, presenting a clear opportunity for a new owner to revitalize and grow the operation.

Property Details
The 4,795 sq ft building is in good condition, with a new roof (circa 2015) and fresh paint (circa 2001). It includes multiple classrooms, a kitchen, refrigerators in each room (parents provide lunches), and an outdoor play area with sufficient cushioning, as noted in the March 2024 CDSS inspection (no deficiencies). The property complies with zoning requirements, including setbacks (20-25 ft front/rear, 5-10 ft sides) and lot coverage (40%, or 6,447 sq ft max). The FAR allows up to 6,947 sq ft, enabling a 1,000 sq ft addition to increase capacity by 10-15 children, adding significant revenue potential.

Growth Opportunities
A new owner can achieve full capacity through digital marketing, local partnerships (e.g., UC Davis), and MyChildCarePlan.org, potentially adding $974K/year in revenue. California subsidies (e.g., CCDBG, California
