Business Overview:
A well established and highly regarded childcare and preschool center in a growing Western Colorado market is available for acquisition for the first time in over three decades. The center has served local families for more than 35 years and has built a strong reputation almost entirely through word of mouth and parent referrals, with very little spent on advertising.
The business offers durable, recurring tuition revenue from families across five classrooms, an academically focused curriculum that sets it apart from play-based programs, in-house meal preparation, and a Colorado Shines Level 3 quality rating. Over the three most recent full years the center has averaged approximately $736,000 in revenue and approximately $139,000 in seller's discretionary earnings, with revenue growing each year.
The owner is retiring and is committed to a smooth, supportive transition, including training for the new owner. An experienced assistant director helps run day-to-day operations, and most of the team is expected to remain. The facility is leased and recently remodeled, with a playground added in 2023 that is included in the sale.
This is a strong candidate for SBA 7(a) acquisition financing, with a modest down payment for a qualified buyer. Clear growth paths include expanded marketing, optimizing the enrollment and staffing mix, and increasing licensed capacity. Serious, qualified buyers will be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement to receive the full Confidential Information Memorandum and financial detail.
Property Features and Assets:
Approximately 2,200 SF in a central Grand Junction location, recently remodeled and designed for compliance and efficiency, with ample outdoor space and furnishings and improvements in place for the next owner.
Market Competition and Expansion:
Demand for licensed childcare in the area continues to grow while competition has thinned in recent years, as rising compliance requirements, staffing challenges, and startup and real estate costs have made new entry harder. That leaves this established, well-rated center in a strong position.
Additional Details:
- The property is Leased.
- The owner is willing to train/assist the new owner.
- This is not homebased business opportunity.
- This is not a franchise resale opportunity
