Established Child Care Business + Real Estate in Marin County
Business Description
A rare opportunity to acquire both an established child care business and the underlying real estate in a highly desirable North Bay market.
The school has operated from this location for decades and benefits from a strong community presence, experienced staff, established enrollment, and a campus designed for early education. The offering may appeal to an owner-operator, existing child care organization, Montessori operator, or strategic buyer seeking to expand into an affluent and supply-constrained market.
The facility is licensed for 60 children and currently operates below licensed capacity, creating an opportunity for a new owner to increase enrollment without immediately requiring a major expansion. The school offers multiple age-based programs, including a younger-child classroom that provides a natural enrollment pipeline into the primary program.
Highlights include:
* Business and real estate offered together
* Nearly one-acre educational campus
* Decades of continuous operating history
* Long-tenured teachers and experienced administrative staff
* Seller-reported limited day-to-day owner involvement
* Established enrollment with additional licensed capacity
* Multiple classrooms and dedicated outdoor play areas
* Extended-day and summer programming
* Recently completed property improvements
* Opportunity to expand younger-child programming, subject to licensing approval
* Potential for additional operational efficiencies and enrollment growth
* Possible longer-term real estate optionality, subject to zoning and governmental approvals
Ownership reports that many daily administrative responsibilities have already been delegated to senior staff, including admissions, staffing, billing, parent communication, and general school operations. This existing infrastructure may provide a smoother transition for a qualified buyer, although buyers should independently evaluate future management and staffing needs.
The property has been consistently maintained, with recent work reportedly including roofing, HVAC, exterior painting, dry rot repairs, outdoor improvements, landscaping, and other ongoing capital projects. Seller reports no significant known deferred maintenance, subject to buyer inspection and verification.
The confidential offering package includes detailed information regarding enrollment, tuition, staffing, operations, property improvements, historical performance, and the real estate. Additional documentation will be provided to qualified buyers following execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement.
Please do not visit the property or contact the owner, employees, families, or licensing agencies directly. All inquiries and tours must be coordinated through the listing broker.
Qualified buyers are encouraged to sign the NDA, review the confidential materials, provide evidence of financial qualifications, and submit a Letter of Intent or Purchase and Sale Agreement outlining the proposed price, structure, financing, contingencies, and closing timeline.
All information has been provided by the seller or obtained from sources believed reliable but has not been independently verified. Buyers must conduct their own investigation of the business, licensing, enrollment, staffing, real estate, property condition, permits, zoning, and suitability for their intended use.
