Business for Sale Overview:
This is a well-established private pre-school, founded 18 years ago and licensed for children ages 19mos to 7 1/2 years. It has a wonderful mix of attractive and comfortable facilities, with an environment geared toward an educational curriculum. There are three active classrooms, one for toddlers (19 mos to 3 yrs) and two for preschool (3 to 6 years), plus one extra which is used for special activities. The building capacity is 69 and the center is currently licensed by the State for 59 children. Current enrollment is 10 toddlers and 32 pre-K. The school year starts after Labor Day and runs through late June. All children are under contract for tuition through the end of the school year. Location is in a residential area in a prime location convenient to a number of towns and cities, with ample parking and easy access. Revenues declined in 2006 as the owner scaled down the business to free up personal time (a new owner can scale back up). The current owner does not actively market the business, but a more aggressive effort could pay off handsomely since there is still unused current capacity. The centers employees, 7 FT and 1 PT in addition to the owner, all have bachelors degrees. Head teachers are trained and certified in early childhood. They are dedicated and skilled teachers, averaging 18 years with the school. Value of the school is 200K and property is 600K, so together the seller is looking for 800K.

Market Competition and Expansion:
