A rare chance to acquire a thriving, fully operational childcare business and its accompanying real estate in the heart of the St. Joseph community. This turn-key investment includes a well-maintained 4,100+ SF brick facility, ample parking, multiple playgrounds, equipment, materials, trade fixtures, inventory, signage, and a dedicated team of long-term staff. Positioned just off the highway, the center offers excellent accessibility for both families and employees. The business currently delivers an attractive 9.25% cap rate with room for additional growth. One Step Ahead Early Learning Center, LLC opened in 2005 and was originally licensed for 72 children. After expanding in 2023, the program is now licensed for 79 children, ages birth through 12 years.
