Absentee Licensed Childcare Center + Real Estate
Business Description
Well-established, licensed childcare center and preschool in Southern Indiana, offered together with its owned real estate. The center has served the same community for more than three decades and cares for children from infancy through pre-kindergarten across eight age-graded classrooms, open year-round.
The business runs on an absentee basis: an on-site director manages day-to-day operations while ownership contributes only about one hour per week. It is supported by a tenured, credentialed team of roughly 20 staff. Revenue is recurring weekly tuition, funded by a mix of private-pay families and state childcare-subsidy vouchers, and supplemented by federal food-program reimbursements.
The state recently increased the center's licensed capacity, creating immediate room to grow enrollment against a largely fixed cost base, a clear, day-one value-add for a new owner. Current utilization leaves meaningful open, licensable seats, with a waitlist in the youngest rooms. A temporary dip in the most recent full year was driven by a state subsidy-voucher pause that has since been reinstated, and the business is pacing back toward its prior peak.
The purpose-built facility (~6,300 sq ft) includes a commercial kitchen, secured playgrounds, and code-compliant classrooms, and is included in the asking price. Because the real estate represents more than half of the purchase price, the transaction qualifies for SBA financing with 25-year amortization, which lowers a buyer's debt service and improves coverage.
Ideal for an owner-operator, a first-time buyer using SBA financing, or a regional childcare operator seeking a turnkey add-on. A signed non-disclosure agreement and buyer qualification are required to receive detailed financials and the confidential information memorandum.
All figures are approximate, unaudited, and subject to verification. Inquiries are handled exclusively through Munera Capital.
Confidential listing. A signed NDA and buyer qualification are required before the business name, exact location, and detailed financials are released.
