This is an opportunity to acquire a single, franchised Early Education and Childcare Business generating about $2.0M annual revenue with adjusted EBITDA of roughly $500k, operating at around 95%+ of its 160+ student licensed capacity.

The company runs a purpose-built, franchise-backed preschool and childcare center in a fast-growing, high-income suburban region in the Tampa Bay area, and provides a full suite of early childhood education services including infant care, toddler programs, preschool, and pre-kindergarten curriculum.

The academy serves a growing base of dual-income families in an area where strong population growth and new residential development continue to drive demand for high- quality childcare and early education services.

Revenue comes primarily from parent-paid tuition (close to 90%), supplemented by limited subsidies and ancillary programs such as summer camps, creating dependable, recurring cash flow and reducing exposure to public reimbursement risk.

Enrollment historically tracks near full utilization, supported by attractive neighborhood demographics with strong median household incomes and thousands of children under age ten within a short drive.

The Company is being sold with an existing, long-term lease on a 10,000 sq. ft. school in a prime location in one of the fastest growing areas of Tampa Bay, FL, with the population increasing from just ~5,700 residents in 2,000 to now over 65,000. Additionally, the location is in an area with a median income of over $107,000 and a median age of approximately 36–37 years, reflecting a young, family-oriented population ideal for childcare services.

The business benefits from a strong competitive moat through top-tier NAEYC accreditation with Gold Seal recognition and access to additional state-level perks and grants, along with anticipated incremental accreditation.

Scale efficiencies and a clean organizational structure support margins, with approximately 30 W-2 staff managed by an experienced director and assistant director while ownership remains absentee.

Normalized financials show expanding adjusted EBITDA through rate optimization, improved mix, and add-backs such as non-operational owner compensation, excess benefits, and optional franchise-related costs, giving an acquirer flexibility to operate under the current brand or rebrand.

Growth opportunities include filling remaining capacity, expanding summer and school-break programs, and opening additional locations in demographically similar pockets of the broader metro area, positioning this as an attractive platform for investors seeking stable, recurring cash flow in the institutional childcare and early education sector.
