OFF MKT is a private, data-driven marketplace that centralizes every licensed childcare operator in the country and connects sellers with qualified, verified buyers — confidentially.

Listing publicly signals distress, unsettles staff and families, and invites lowball offers. An off-market process protects your identity and surfaces competitive offers without the noise.

Any licensed agent or owner can list. We encourage owners to work with agents they feel comfortable with and that know how to transact childcare transactions.

Buyers apply and are screened and NDA-verified before they ever see a listing. Only qualified operators, groups, and acquirers reach your information.

Single centers, multi-site operations, real-estate-included deals, and business-only opportunities across every market we cover.

Yes. Many of our listings are business-only. We structure the deal around what you actually own and what you’re looking to transfer.

No. OFF MKT is a marketplace and data platform. We connect verified buyers and sellers and structure the process — we don’t act as your broker.

Other sites are public feeds. OFF MKT is a confidential, structured marketplace with the most complete verified childcare buyer pool and ownership database nationwide. OFF MKT simplifies the confidentiality process without sacrificing security and provides visibility of your offering to the entire market.

Discretion is built into every step. Your listing isn't posted to any public feed, and your identity and details stay private until you decide to engage a specific buyer. You control what's shared and when.

Listing carries no fee, and neither does posting a requirement. A listing puts your center in front of verified buyers on the marketplace and matches it against active buyer requirements. It does not include a marketing campaign run on your behalf, and OFF MKT does not act as your broker. Buyer access is by application. No hidden fees and no success commissions.

Every buyer is screened and NDA-verified, sensitive details are gated until you engage, and you control exactly what each party can see and when.

Underperforming centers still attract operators looking for turnaround and expansion. A structured, confidential process helps you reach them without signaling distress.
