YesNeutralNeutralThis business is better in some regions of the country than others and may have a longer life as well. Due diligence is required. Regulations and market conditions vary by state and locality. Caveat emptor!
I like helping families and seeing children learn and grow.
Market conditions today are not what they were a decade or more ago. The best days for premium childcare are behind us. UPK, declining birth rates, inflation, high cost of housing, interest rates, etc. are stressing family budgets. Market saturation as a result of over expansion by PE-driven franchisors and/or a surplus of other competition with open capacity and lower rates is making it hard to achieve advertised margins.
