- Operates on a recurring monthly school-fee model, with fees collected from parents for full-day early childhood care and education.
- The centre has been operating for 9 years and was founded by experienced professionals who initially built the school to provide a higher-quality preschool option for their own children.
- Over the years, the business expanded due to demand and referrals before consolidating into its current Central Singapore location.
- The centre serves a mix of local and expatriate families, mainly working parents in and around the area.
- Has strong parent relationships, with enrolments driven largely by referrals, word-of-mouth, repeat sibling enrolments, and targeted seasonal promotions.
- There has been a drop in sales this year compared to last year because the business consolidated operations and downsized the enrolments, as the owner is planning to exit. The projected EBITDA for the ongoing year is approximately SGD 300,000.
- There are 15 permanent employees, and occasionally temporary or part-time non-teaching staff/caretakers are hired based on operational needs and demand.
- Key highlights include premium school fees, an experienced principal-led team, in-house chef-prepared meals, bilingual early childhood programmes, quality-focused care, strong parent referrals, and an established operating track record.
- The business has also won a Best Pre-School award, has been recognised among the top preschools in the area, and maintains strong online reviews and positive parent feedback.
Further details can be shared with serious buyers after signing an NDA.
- The centre serves both local and expatriate families, with a roughly balanced student mix.
- Most enrolments come from working parents, although some families continue with the centre even after changing jobs or no longer working nearby due to positive prior experiences with older siblings.
- The business is positioned as a quality-focused preschool rather than a mass-market centre.
- Key service strengths include immersive bilingual exposure, low teacher-to-child ratios, quality food prepared by an in-house chef team, thoughtfully designed learning spaces, strong hygiene and air-quality standards, and a warm, parent referral-driven culture.
- Parents use the centre as a full-day care and education solution for infants and preschool-aged children, covering daily supervision, early learning, bilingual development, socialisation, meals, routine care, and preparation for primary school.
