Child care centers in California

1,055 licensed child care centers in California, with licensed capacity on every page. Capacity times local tuition is the revenue model, and it's one of the few trades where the public file carries the number that matters.

Centers sell around 3.28x owner earnings, median $380K, and roll-ups are active buyers. Directors are mission-driven and rightly wary of "selling the kids"; the word is transition, and the page is built to show what a transition to a new owner looks like for families.
