Northeast Ohio Licensed Childcare, Nine Years, Absentee-Capable
$526,383 Annual Revenue from a 6,000 Square Foot Licensed Facility with Diversified Private-Pay and State-Subsidized Enrollment

Business Description
State-subsidized tuition and private-pay enrollment fund this center simultaneously. Neither source carries the full revenue load. That split produces $526,383 in annual revenue with a billing structure that holds across economic cycles affecting either segment independently. Eleven employees manage daily operations across multiple management layers, a structure that supports ownership at the oversight level without requiring floor-level daily presence.

The 6,000 square foot facility sits on a high-traffic corridor with direct visibility and proximity to nearby schools. Age groups from six weeks through eleven years each occupy dedicated classroom space within the building. A professionally installed fire suppression system meets current Ohio licensing requirements and supports flexible classroom reconfiguration as enrollment grows. The physical plant requires no deferred capital investment at closing.

Real estate is owned outright and available for purchase alongside the business. A buyer negotiating both assets acquires an operating childcare license and a real property position in a single transaction. FF&E of $30,000 transfers with the $149,900 asking price and covers classroom furniture, educational equipment, and administrative systems in active daily use.

Active enrollment, a licensed facility, a trained eleven-person staff, and a multi-layer management structure transfer at closing. The business is offered for sale as the current owner pursues other business opportunities.

Business History
Licensed childcare operations at this Northeast Ohio location began in 2016. The center expanded its age range and enrollment capacity over the following nine years, growing from its original programming into a full-spectrum operation serving children from six weeks through eleven years. Ohio Department of Job and Family Services licensing has been maintained in current good standing throughout that period without interruption.

The management structure that now supports day-to-day operations developed incrementally as enrollment grew and staffing deepened. FF&E of $30,000 reflects classroom and administrative equipment in active daily use across the 6,000 square foot facility. All required Ohio childcare licenses and operational permits are current entering 2026.
