A rare opportunity to take over a large, established childcare and infant care centre in Central Singapore. The centre holds two licences, infant care and preschool, which is uncommon and difficult to replicate. It sits on a spacious 10,000+ sqft premise with an outdoor playground, and is licensed for 181 children (25 infant care + 156 childcare).
This is a genuine turnaround opportunity for the right operator. The centre is currently running below capacity at around 60 children and is loss-making, mainly because of a high rent and a franchise royalty. For a buyer operating under their own brand, the royalty falls away, and the landlord is open to either an assignment or a fresh lease, so the rent can be reset. On that basis the centre reaches breakeven at the current enrolment, with clear room to grow toward its 181 capacity.
The owner is consolidating to focus on another centre and is exiting this one.

๐ซ Licensed Capacity: 181 children (25 infant care + 156 childcare, a rare dual licence)
๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ Current Enrolment: Approx. 60 students, with significant spare capacity to fill
๐ข Premise Size: Approx. 10,000+ sqft, with an outdoor playground
๐ Location: Central Singapore, established dual-income catchment
๐ต Fees: $2k+ per month, full-day
๐ Lease: Landlord open to either an assignment or a fresh lease with a new operator, so the rent can be reset
๐ผ Team: Principal, teachers, admin and support team in place
๐ง Owner Role: Suitable for an established operator who can bring their own brand and ramp up enrolment
๐ Upside: Remove the franchise royalty (own brand), reset the rent on a fresh lease, and fill the spare capacity toward 181, three clear levers to strong profitability

This is not a bare-space takeover. A buyer acquires a fitted, operating centre with two licences, an existing parent base, staff in place, and a large premise with outdoor play, in a central catchment that is hard to secure new.
The economics are unusually clear. On their own brand the royalty disappears, and with the rent reset the centre is already at breakeven on today's enrolment. Every child added from there, toward a licensed capacity of 181, drops largely to the bottom line. For an established operator with the marketing and operational engine to fill seats, this is a platform with built-in headroom rather than a mature asset priced for perfection.
A flexible deal structure is available to align the price with the children who stay through the handover, so a buyer is not asked to pay full value up front for retention they cannot yet see.
