Specialized in Child Care Centres & Private School

School Site Selection, Business Acquisitions and Advisory, Buy & Sell Daycare and School Businesses

Selling Your Daycare or School Discreetly

We know that childcare centre and school owners do not want anyone to know when they are selling. Therefore, we do the following:

Buying or Leasing for School

Most commercial properties are unsuitable for childcare or private schools. We identify, vet, and negotiate suitable locations for serious operators.

Buying Turnkey Daycare / School Businesses in Ontario

We specialize in the confidential sale of childcare and school businesses, including CWELCC-approved centres. Turnkey CWELCC Daycare Businesses or Turnkey Private School Businesses are most suitable for first time operators. Buying already running schools or daycare centres would be a perfect starting point for new owners. However, these businesses are confidential and off-market. We have access to off-market turnkey daycare, childcare and school businesses for sale. Our sellers trusted us to help them sell confidentially and discreetly. To see turnkey opportunities, please complete an operator questionnaire first and then book a meeting with us. We take confidentiality very seriously.

Our Standard

The "Technical Feasibility Standard"

To ensure site viability, every property in our registry is pre-vetted against the Technical Feasibility Standard. We perform preliminary validation against zoning, natural light, and parking before a site is presented to an operator.

Zoning & Use: Zoning was checked against municipal online resources for childcare use, private school use, college and universities use.
Natural Light Audit: Every site is checked against the 10% window-to-floor ratio which is the Ontario Building Code requirement.
Playground: Preliminary check on playground requirement based on the Ministry of Education’s requirements
Parking: Preliminary check on parking requirements based on municipalities’ requirements which are different between cities.
Landlord Alignment: We only present sites where the landlord is pre-vetted for childcare use.

Our preliminary check is designed to save you time by filtering out non-compliant sites. However, it is a preliminary scan only. A full, independent due diligence process is required for every site to confirm final suitability for your specific license and operational model.

Access The Vetted School Registry

Our portfolio is restricted to qualified operators. To view sites that have passed our Technical Feasibility Standard, please complete the Operator Questionnaire.

Steps to Access The Vetted School Registry

Technical Site Selection: We find commercial spaces and put them through our Technical Feasibility Standard. Only the “survivable” sites make the cut.

Step 1 – Operator Questionnaire: You complete a detailed questionnaire so we can verify your requirements and timeline. This ensures we only show you sites that match your specific business model.

Step 2 – Site Strategy Call & Access: Once the Questionnaire is completed, schedule a call with us to discuss further and begin your journey.

For Agents & Brokerage Co-Operation: To receive our exclusive, off-market inventory, please email your client’s specific mandate and budget to [email protected]. Verified representatives will be added to our Professional Distribution List.

Superb Negotiator in Complex Transaction

Jane was exceptional throughout the entire process of purchasing my daycare center. She went above and beyond at every stage—coordinating with lawyers during difficult negotiations, mediating effectively with the seller, and ensuring all paperwork was accurate and transparent. Her deep understanding of both the transaction and operational aspects made a complex deal much smoother. I truly felt supported and informed at all times. She is, without a doubt, the best realtor I’ve worked with.

~Shail G (New Owner)

Access to Exclusive Listings & Reliable

I have been working with Jane for over a year. As a multi unit childcare operator I have met many realtors who claim to understand childcare requirements - most do not. Jane consistently impresses with her thorough knowledge of Ministry regulations, her access to exclusive listings and her keen awareness of the market. She is responsive, reliable and focused on finding practical, compliant solutions. I highly recommend Jane to any childcare operator looking for a realtor who truly understands this sector.

~Debbie C (Multi-Site Owner)

Excellent Understanding of the Industry

I had the pleasure of working with Jane during the process of acquiring a childcare business, and her expertise was invaluable throughout. She has an excellent understanding of the childcare industry and provided thoughtful guidance not only during the transaction, but also on how to optimize and grow the business post-acquisition. Jane is knowledgeable, reliable, and truly invested in her clients’ success. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or expand within the childcare sector.

Exit Strategy

Selling your School and Daycare Business Discreetly

For owners looking to transition out of their business without alerting staff, parents, or competitors.

The “QuietDeal” Protocol: We specialize in off-market transactions. Your business is never publicly advertised on the MLS or open platforms. Instead, it is discreetly presented only to pre-verified buyers within our private network.

Ready-Buyers: We have been busy finding and vetting buyers building a strong qualified buyer list before you even think about selling your daycare business.

Secure Data Rooms: All sensitive financial and licensing documents are hosted in a secure data room. Access is only granted after a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).

Controlled Information Flow: We manage 360° virtual tours and professional selling packages so that site visits only happen with serious, vetted buyers, minimizing foot traffic and protecting your business.

Operational Continuity: Our process is designed to aim for zero disruption to your daily operations.

Expert Valuation: We provide a comprehensive valuation of both the business goodwill and the real estate, ensuring your exit reflects the true market value for your business.

Tour Visit in “Stealth” mode: We will do our best to ensure our site visits are so quiet and stealth that even the teachers will not notice that we have been there.

Included Service

360 Virtual Tour Protocol

To maintain absolute discretion and operational continuity, we utilize high-definition 360° Virtual Tours for every confidential mandate. This technology is a critical component of our security process, offering two primary advantages:

Elimination of Unnecessary Foot Traffic: We protect the privacy of your staff and students by requiring prospective buyers to “walk through” the facility virtually first. This ensures that only high-intent, pre-vetted buyers, who have already reviewed the layout and design, are granted an in-person viewing.

Qualified Logistics: Virtual tours allow serious buyers to assess the “Operational Flow” and “Technical Layout” from a distance. This saves time and ensures that in-person visits are reserved for final-stage negotiations, not basic tire-shopping.
