Asset Class Focus. daycare centers, childcare facilities, preschools, and early-childhood education properties.
Typical Seller Profile. owner-operator daycares reaching retirement, multi-site operators exiting, franchise operators (KinderCare, Bright Horizons, Goddard, Primrose), and chain conversions.
Key Deal Terms We Track. licensed capacity, enrollment, infant/toddler/preschool/school-age mix, state subsidy programs, staff-to-child ratios, and franchise brand affiliation.
Underwriting Drivers. enrollment vs capacity, tuition rate, infant/toddler premium pricing, state subsidy income reliability, franchise brand value, and location demographics (young-family density).
Risks We Underwrite. state licensing renewals, ratio compliance, staff turnover and labor cost inflation, COVID-era enrollment recovery, and state-subsidy reimbursement timing. We adjust our cap-rate and reserve assumptions to reflect each of these factors.
Value-Add Paths. expanding licensed capacity, joining franchise (Primrose, Goddard), modernizing curriculum, adding before/after-school care, and capital improvements for ratio compliance. Where a clear value-add path exists, our offer reflects our ability to underwrite a higher exit cap rate after improvement.
Regulatory Considerations. state daycare licensing (rigorous), state Department of Education or DCF oversight, state-specific staff:child ratios, USDA food program participation, ADA, and OSHA. We coordinate with niche-specific regulatory counsel for every closing.
Speed. 30-90 day all-cash close. Our investment committee meets weekly.
Certainty. 98%+ close rate on signed PSAs. No financing contingency, no appraisal contingency, no insurance disqualification.
Discretion. NDA-based engagement. No public marketing, no broker e-blasts, no industry publications.
Specialization. Niche-asset desk with operating, regulatory, and environmental expertise specific to daycare centers. We are not a generic CRE buyer running default assumptions.
Operator Continuity. We can structure transactions to maintain operating-business continuity through professional management, franchise, or operator partnerships.
$1M to $10M+ per asset, with portfolio acquisitions exceeding these ranges in aggregate.
