Invest in Your Childcare Center's Future

The childcare industry in the United States serves more than 12 million children and generates approximately $60 billion in annual revenue. With dual-income households now the norm rather than the exception, demand for quality daycare and early childhood programs has never been higher. Yet running a childcare center is expensive — between staffing requirements, facility maintenance, regulatory compliance, and educational materials, costs add up quickly. Childcare centers face a particular financial paradox: they serve a market with strong and growing demand, yet their ability to raise tuition is limited by what local families can afford. This creates thin margins that make access to working capital essential. Staffing represents the largest expense, typically consuming 60-70% of revenue, and attracting and retaining qualified early childhood educators requires competitive compensation. Facility costs are the second major area of investment. State licensing requirements dictate specific square footage per child, safety features, outdoor play areas, and age-appropriate furnishings. As regulations evolve and enrollment grows, centers must continually upgrade their physical environment. Many daycare operators also invest in curriculum enhancements, technology for parent communication, and security systems. Brevo Capital connects daycare owners with lenders who understand that childcare businesses have predictable, subscription-like revenue from weekly tuition payments — a model that lenders find attractive despite the industry's relatively modest profit margins.
