Daycares for Sale
Daycares combine recurring tuition, waitlist demand, and durable need. Get first access to off-market daycare and childcare centers for sale.
Buy the right daycare, not just an available one
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.
Valley Acquisitions runs a nationwide buyer network. Tell us your criteria and we'll surface off-market 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 joining our buyer network — tell us your budget, location, and what you're after. We match you with off-market daycares that fit, 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.
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 and don't overpay for hype.
Do I need experience to buy a daycare?
Not always. Plenty of our buyers are first-time owners. We help you evaluate the business honestly and think through operations, and many sellers will stay on for a transition period to get you up to speed.
