An attractive lease at $2,301.80 per month is already in place until December 2027, adding stability and value for the next owner. Situated in the rapidly growing SW area—close to major hospital and surrounded by new residential developments—the location is ideal for increasing demand.

The sale includes all furniture, equipment, décor, the trade name, website, and more, along with two weeks of complimentary training for the new owner. The environment emphasizes safe, supervised play with personalized attention, fostering trust, positive socialization, and overall well-being for small to medium breeds, while larger dogs are welcomed when they demonstrate excellent temperament. ***Business asset sale only – real estate is not included.*** More details

Childcare & Daycare Businesses for Sale in Calgary

Explore Childcare & Daycare Centers in Calgary

Calgary’s childcare market includes licensed daycares, Montessori schools, and early learning centers located in both residential and commercial areas. Many listings come fully furnished with play areas, classrooms, outdoor spaces, and staff amenities—ready for immediate operation. High-demand neighborhoods such as Saddleridge, Royal Oak, Mahogany, and Skyview Ranch show strong occupancy rates due to young family demographics and school proximity. Centers near new subdivisions or major employment hubs tend to achieve faster growth and stable enrollment.

Calgary Daycare Market Overview

The daycare sector in Calgary continues to perform strongly, with valuations typically ranging from $300K to $1.5M, depending on licensed capacity, profitability, and property ownership. Alberta’s affordability grants and childcare subsidies have improved long-term financial security for operators, increasing overall industry stability. Centers with capacities above 60 children or located near large residential developments experience the highest resale interest. With low vacancy rates and expanding population, Calgary remains one of the most favorable childcare markets in Western Canada.

Investment Insights

Investing in a daycare business provides predictable monthly income and long-term growth potential. Facilities with strong reputations, consistent parent referrals, and updated safety compliance yield excellent returns. Investors can operate independently or hire experienced directors for semi-passive management. Combining property ownership with the childcare business further enhances asset value. With government initiatives promoting affordable childcare, Calgary’s sector continues to attract both local and institutional investors seeking secure, community-based investments.

FAQ's

Why are daycare businesses considered stable investments in Calgary?
Consistent demand, government support, and a growing family population ensure long-term enrollment and steady revenue.

Do daycare businesses for sale include property or just the operation?

What are typical licensed capacities for Calgary daycare centers?
Most range from 30 to 120 children, depending on building size and staff ratios.

Can non-educators own daycare businesses?
Yes. Owners can hire qualified directors and educators to manage daily operations while overseeing business performance.

What factors affect daycare valuation?
Licensed capacity, profitability, staffing stability, and facility condition are key valuation drivers.

Are government childcare grants transferable to new owners?
Yes. In most cases, funding agreements can be re-registered with Alberta Childcare Licensing upon ownership transfer.
