Running a preschool is tough. Between licensing, staffing, enrollment, curriculum, marketing, and parent communication — it’s easy to feel like you’re stuck working in the business instead of on the business. That’s where we come in.
We offer performance-based preschool optimization consulting — meaning we only succeed when you succeed.
Step 1: Discovery & Assessment
We start with a deep dive into your preschool.
Enrollment & capacity analysis
Tuition rates & pricing strategy
Staffing structure & payroll balance
Marketing & lead generation review
Parent experience & retention systems
You’ll walk away with a clear scorecard of where you’re winning and where revenue is being left on the table.
Step 2: Custom Optimization Plan
Based on your unique goals, we design a roadmap for rapid improvement, often including:
Q: What types of preschools do you work with? We work with independent owners, franchise operators, and multi-site preschool groups. Whether you’re running a single center or preparing a network for sale, our consulting adapts to your needs.
Q: Do you only work with preschools in California? No. While we are based in San Diego, we support preschool owners across the U.S. and can provide tailored strategies for state-specific licensing and compliance.
Q: What does preschool consulting cover? Our consulting focuses on three key areas:
Profit Optimization – identifying revenue opportunities and cost savings.
Operational Excellence – improving enrollment, staffing, curriculum, and compliance.
Exit & Valuation – preparing your preschool for a profitable sale or acquisition.
Profit & Growth
Q: How can you help increase my preschool’s profits? We audit your operations and financials to uncover new revenue streams (enrichment programs, aftercare, summer camps), optimize tuition pricing, improve enrollment conversion, and reduce unnecessary expenses.
Q: Can you help me with marketing and enrollment? Yes. We specialize in building proven enrollment funnels, referral programs, and retention systems to keep classrooms full and maximize lifetime value per family.
Q: What if my center is struggling with staffing? We provide guidance on staff recruitment, training, retention, and scheduling to reduce turnover while maintaining compliance with staff-to-child ratios.
Preparing for Sale
Q: How do I know if my preschool is ready to sell? We evaluate your financials, enrollment stability, compliance history, and facility readiness to determine marketability and potential valuation.
Q: What’s the typical valuation multiple for a preschool business? Most preschools sell between 3–4× EBITDA, but stronger operators or groups can command higher multiples. Our goal is to help you position for the top end of the market.
Q: Do you connect owners with buyers? Yes. Through our network of investors and operators, we can introduce qualified buyers looking for preschools of your size and profile.
Q: How far in advance should I start preparing for a sale? Ideally 6–12 months before listing. This gives time to improve profitability, clean up financials, and showcase strong enrollment trends that maximize your valuation.
Engagement & Process
Q: How do you typically work with clients? We start with a free discovery call, then conduct an operational and financial assessment. From there, we create a custom action plan with clear ROI-driven initiatives.
Q: What does it cost to hire NSE Kids Academy Consulting? We offer flexible packages: hourly consulting, project-based engagements, and success-fee structures for exit prep and brokerage support.
Q: How soon can I expect results? Some improvements—like enrollment systems and pricing optimization—can generate results within first 30 days! Preparing for a sale or long-term scaling typically takes 6–18 months.
Q: Do you provide ongoing support? Yes. Many clients engage us long-term to continuously optimize performance and support their growth or sale journey.
