Anyone have experience with Childcare/Daycare?
For anyone who has acquired or operated a childcare/daycare business, what are the biggest risks that aren’t obvious from the financials? I’m especially curious about staffing ratios, director dependence, licensing, enrollment stability, and how much location/reputation drives retention. How attractive is childcare as a search-fund industry today? For those who have evaluated the space, what would make you pursue or walk away from a daycare acquisition?
