Daycares for Sale — Search Southern Ontario Listings
Southern Ontario has a critical shortage of licensed childcare spaces — with over 200,000 children on waitlists province-wide. The federal-provincial Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) agreement at $10/day further increases demand and subsidizes provider revenues, creating one of the strongest acquisition environments in the sector’s history.
Southern Ontario has 200,000+ children on childcare waitlists. Any licensed facility operates at near-100% capacity with multi-year waiting lists — protecting revenue regardless of economic cycles.
Participating daycares receive provincial operating grants under CWELCC to offset reduced parent fees. This government subsidy creates a stable, predictable revenue component.
Obtaining a new childcare licence in Southern Ontario requires zoning approval, facility inspections, staffing ratios, and a 12–24 month approval process. An existing licence is enormously valuable.
Parents pay tuition monthly, 10–11 months per year per child. With 60–120 licensed spots per facility, monthly revenue is highly predictable and contractually committed.
Full-day Montessori and licensed preschool programs can charge $1,800–$2,500/month per child. Premium concepts serve upper-income markets with lower price sensitivity.
Established daycares carry 10–15 years of community trust, sibling referral patterns, and word-of-mouth marketing that cannot be replicated in a new startup.
