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.
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 Intake Form.
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 Intake Form: You complete a detailed intake 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 intake form is completed, schedule a call with us to discuss further and begin your journey.
Expansion & Acquisition
For established operators looking to lease or purchase new locations.
- The Vetted School Registry: Access to sites that have passed the Technical Feasibility Standard.
- Buy-Side Mandates: Strategic identification of off-market childcare businesses.
- Market Analysis: Preliminary appraisals for expansion planning.
Confidential Divestiture (The "Quiet" Discreet Sell)
- Confidentiality and Discreet: 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.
- Secure Data Rooms: Sophisticated selling packages with 360 virtual tours and non-disclosure protocols.
- Expert Valuation: Business and property valuation on both business goodwill and real estate.
- Discreet Placement: Direct access to our pre-qualified buyer network.
New Operator
A successful center begins with a robust business plan, not a lease. We require new operators to complete our Foundational Readiness Checklist before beginning the site selection process. This ensures your budget and model are viable before you commit to an asset.
- Operational Readiness: Access to our Foundational Readiness Checklist and resources.
- Site Suitability: We only begin the search once your business plan and budget are solidified.
- The Intake Process: Complete the Operator Intake Form to begin your journey.
Exit Strategy
Confidential Divestiture & Exit Strategy
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.
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.
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.
