BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Well-Established and Profitable, Serving Infants Through Early Element

Opportunity to Own Two Thriving Childcare & Education Centers in Ennis, MT!

This is a rare chance to acquire two well-established businesses in the heart of Ennis, MT, providing essential services to a growing community. Wild Rose Family Center and Madison Valley Adventure Academy offer high-quality childcare and Montessori-inspired education, serving families from infancy through early elementary school.

Business Overview:

Wild Rose Family Center: The only licensed daycare in Ennis that provides care for infants 6 months to 2 years old and children under 5. The center is licensed to care for up to 15 children (6 infants, 9 older). It has a strong reputation and consistent demand, making it a stable investment.

Madison Valley Adventure Academy: A Montessori-inspired micro-school offering education for children aged 4 through kindergarten. The Academy serves up to 16 students and integrates outdoor learning with a rigorous curriculum, making it a favorite among families seeking alternatives to traditional schooling.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

Turnkey Business: Both centers come fully equipped with furniture, learning materials, and play equipment, ensuring a smooth transition for new owners.

Established Presence: Years of community engagement have built strong relationships with local families, leading to steady enrollment and word-of-mouth referrals.

Growth Potential: Opportunities for expansion include increased enrollment, extended hours, and new programs like after-school care or summer camps. A new owner could explore becoming licensed as a childcare center to serve more children.

Support During Transition: The current owner will provide guidance during the transition, ensuring continuity for families, staff, and new owners.

Financial Highlights:

Combined Annual Revenue: $467,531.79

Adjusted Net Income: $75,244.47 (reflecting adjustments for non-recurring expenses)

Valuation: $150,000 (based on a conservative 2x multiple of the adjusted net income)

Facility & Location:

Both businesses operate in leased spaces with terms transferable to new ownership. Located in scenic Ennis, MT, the centers serve families from Ennis and nearby areas like Bozeman and Big Sky, where childcare options are limited. Ennis’s natural beauty and community spirit make it an attractive place for families.

What’s Included in the Sale:

All furniture, play equipment, and learning materials
Brand recognition and strong client relationships
Transferable leases with favorable terms
Detailed operating procedures and curriculum guides

Next Steps:

If you’re passionate about early childhood education or looking to expand your business, this is a perfect opportunity to acquire two thriving centers with built-in demand. Don’t miss your chance to invest in a rewarding field and make a lasting impact on families in a beautiful Montana community.

Facilities
Wild Rose Family Center and Madison Valley Adventure Academy operate in a leased space in Ennis, MT. Both centers are fully equipped with high-quality furniture, learning materials, and outdoor play equipment. The facilities include classrooms, office space, a staff lounge/workspace, and age-appropriate play areas. The sale includes all essential assets such as tables, chairs, shelves, curriculum materials, educational resources, and playground structures, ensuring a seamless transition for new ownership.
Competition
Wild Rose Family Center is the only licensed daycare in Ennis serving infants under 3. There is a strong demand for additional childcare services in the community and a unique market opportunity.
Growth & Expansion
Becoming licensed as a center rather than a group could significantly increase Wild Rose Family Center’s capacity, allowing for more children to be served and boosting revenue. Expanding hours or adding after-school programs could further enhance income. The challenge may include meeting licensing requirements and managing increased staff needs, but the market demand and long waitlists indicate strong potential for growth.
Financing
Financing may be available through the SBA and Dakota Business Lending
Support & Training
The current owner is committed to ensuring a smooth transition and is offering 30 days of support and training to the new owner. This includes guidance on daily operations, introduction to staff and families, and an overview of policies, procedures, and curriculum. Additional consultation and support are available as needed to help maintain continuity and stability.
Reason for Selling
Focus on other professional pursuits as my own children have aged out of the pro
