Daycares combine recurring tuition, waitlist demand, and durable need. Tell us what you're looking for and get notified about daycare and childcare centers for sale.
Looking for the right daycare? Start with what you want
Childcare is essential, in-demand, and recurring — the best centers run waitlists. Licensing, staff ratios, and enrollment are the fundamentals that determine whether a daycare is a strong, compliant business.
Tell us your criteria and we'll notify you about daycares that fit — then help you evaluate enrollment, licensing, staffing, and the facility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Buying a daycare — common questions
How do I buy a daycare?
Start by telling us what you're looking for — budget, location, size, and how you want to operate. We'll notify you when daycares that fit become available, help you evaluate the numbers, and support you through diligence, financing, and closing.
What matters most when buying a daycare?
Licensing and compliance, enrollment and waitlists, staff ratios, and the facility lease. We help you confirm the center is compliant and full before you commit.
Do I need a childcare background to buy a daycare?
Not always — many owners hire a qualified director — but licensing rules vary by state. We help you understand the requirements and staffing before you buy.
How much does it cost to buy a daycare?
It depends on the daycare's cash flow, revenue, and assets — there's a wide range. We help you value each opportunity on its real numbers so you pay a fair price for what you're actually buying.
Do I need experience to buy a daycare?
Not always. Plenty of buyers are first-time owners looking for a solid business they can learn. We help you evaluate honestly, and many sellers stay on through a transition to get you up to speed.
