The Discovery Barn
Brazoria, Texas
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Established community childcare center with a strong local reputation, owned real estate, consistent enrollment, and meaningful upside available to a focused buyer.
- Director-led operation – owner works half-days, not full-time in the center
- Strong community reputation driving consistent enrollment demand
- 1.82 acres of owned real estate included in the sale
- TRS 3 Star Certified
- 8 classrooms across 2 buildings serving infants through school age, plus a shed on the property
- Clean compliance record – 578/578 standards met on most recent inspection

History of the Business
The Discovery Barn has served the Brazoria, Texas community as a licensed childcare center since the property was originally developed in 1997, with significant facility expansions in 2003 and 2018. The current owners acquired the property in 2017 and have operated Discovery Barn continuously since. Under their ownership, meaningful investments have been made in the facility including playground equipment upgrades, new HVAC systems, and classroom renovations.

The center has meaningful upside available to a focused owner — from enrollment growth to expanded hours and stronger digital presence, building on the center’s existing TRS 3 Star certification. Specific opportunities and industry trends are detailed below.

| ✓ | Direct referrals / word of mouth | – | Paid digital ads |

Growth Opportunities
Discovery Barn Current enrollment is at 68% of licensed capacity. Specific growth opportunities are detailed below.
Industry-Wide Growth Trends
- Employer-Sponsored Child Care – Programs that contract directly with employers for a fixed fee per child are growing rapidly among mid-size and small businesses, providing centers with a stable, predictable revenue stream.
- Extended & Nonstandard Hours – Demand for care outside traditional hours is rising, driven by shift workers, single-parent households, and growth in nursing, retail, and food service industries.
- Digital & Online Presence – Centers with a managed website, active social media, and strong review profiles consistently outperform those without. A buyer with digital focus can accelerate enrollment.
- CRM & Automated Lead Follow-Up – Seller reports no current CRM or automated lead follow-up system. A buyer could improve inquiry response speed, follow-up consistency, tour conversion tracking, and reactivation of unconverted leads by implementing a dedicated CRM workflow.
- TRS 3 Star Certified – Discovery Barn holds a Texas Rising Star 3 Star rating, qualifying the center for enhanced Workforce Solutions subsidy reimbursement rates above the baseline and a broader base of subsidized families.
Workforce Solutions Subsidy Reimbursement Opportunity
Discovery Barn is located in the Gulf Coast Workforce Board area. Centers that accept Workforce Solutions subsidy are reimbursed at the following daily rates per enrolled child. Rates increase with Texas Rising Star (TRS) quality rating — each star level above baseline represents higher per-child reimbursement on every subsidized child, every day of attendance.
| Age Group | Unrated (Reg) |
TRS 2★ |
TRS 3★ |
TRS 4★ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Infant (0–11 mo) | $47.00 | $49.36 | $50.36 | $51.40 |
| Toddler (18–23 mo) | $45.20 | $47.47 | $48.43 | $49.41 |
| Preschool (3 yr) | $43.80 | $46.00 | $46.93 | $47.88 |
| School Age (6–13 yr) | $41.40 | $43.48 | $44.36 | $45.26 |
Rates are daily, full-time, Licensed Child Care Center (LCCC). Source: TWC Board Contract Year 2026 Child Care Provider Payment Rates (Gulf Coast-28). Rates are subject to annual revision. Participation in Workforce Solutions subsidy requires center eligibility and TWC enrollment. Preschool Exchange LLC makes no representations as to reimbursement amounts or eligibility.
CACFP Meal Reimbursement Opportunity
Centers enrolled in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) receive federal reimbursement for meals served to enrolled children. Reimbursement is paid per meal served, at rates that vary by the child’s eligibility tier. For a center serving primarily low-income families, the majority of meals may qualify at the Free rate — creating a meaningful revenue stream with no additional enrollment required.
| Meal | Free | Reduced-Price | Paid (Full) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Breakfast | $2.46 | $2.16 | $0.40 |
| Lunch / Supper | $4.60 | $4.20 | $0.44 |
| Snack | $1.26 | $0.63 | $0.11 |
