Why This Opportunity Stands Out

A turnkey 4-Star TRS-certified childcare center in Huntsville, TX with a freshly secured 3-year lease and room to grow enrollment from its current 61% occupancy.

  • Highest-tier Texas Rising Star (4-Star) certification already in place — unlocks the highest Workforce Solutions subsidy reimbursement rates on every enrolled subsidized child
  • New 3-year lease secured at $2,400/month — one of the lowest occupancy costs in the market for a 51-seat licensed center, providing immediate cash flow relief to a new owner
  • Revenue grew 24% from $239,244 (2023) to $297,095 (2024) — demonstrating real enrollment momentum with licensed capacity headroom still available

Business Overview

Strengths & Uniqueness

  • Texas Rising Star 4-Star certified — the highest quality tier in Texas, already achieved and maintained. Certification drives higher Workforce Solutions reimbursement rates on every subsidized child, every day of care.
  • CACFP-participating through BeyondMeals — federal meal reimbursement already active, generating supplemental revenue on top of tuition for every qualifying enrolled child
  • Frog Street curriculum — a nationally recognized, evidence-based early education program that supports TRS renewal and differentiates the program from unaccredited competitors
  • Freshly secured 3-year lease at $2,400/month — lease stability is in place through at least May 2028, with occupancy cost well below market for a 51-seat center
  • Procare childcare management software — digital attendance, billing, and communication systems already in place for operational continuity
  • Revenue growth trend — tuition and program fee revenue grew from $239,244 (2023) to $297,095 (2024), demonstrating enrollment momentum in the current market
  • Enrollment headroom — 31 of 51 licensed seats filled (61% occupancy), providing immediate capacity for growth without facility expansion or licensing changes

History of the Business

Tasy Academy was licensed by Texas HHS on April 9, 2018, and has served the Huntsville, Walker County community for over seven years. The center was built from the ground up under current ownership, growing from initial licensure to a 4-Star Texas Rising Star certified program — a distinction earned through documented quality practices, consistent staff training, and ongoing HHS assessment compliance.

Over its operating history the school has maintained a clean compliance record (13 deficiencies recorded across 3,936 standards evaluated over the five-year reporting window), reflecting consistent operational discipline. The center serves infants through school-age children in a full-day program Monday through Friday, and participates in both the CACFP meal program and Workforce Solutions child care subsidy. The current ownership group is transitioning for personal reasons and is seeking a qualified operator to carry the school and its community relationships forward.

Marketing & Growth Opportunities

Tasy Academy operates in a market with established community visibility and a 4-Star TRS credential that positions it above most competitors in the Huntsville area. With 31 of 51 licensed seats currently filled, a focused owner has direct enrollment headroom to grow revenue from the existing licensed footprint — no facility expansion required.

Enrollment Growth Opportunity
Current enrollment stands at 31 of 51 licensed seats — 61% occupancy. Reaching 80% capacity would add approximately 10 children; at current tuition rates (ranging from $550 to $960/month by age group), that represents meaningful revenue growth from the existing licensed footprint. The center’s 4-Star TRS status and CACFP participation make it especially attractive to families using Workforce Solutions subsidies, which represent a significant buyer pool in Walker County’s income demographic.

  • Enrollment capacity — 20 licensed seats currently unfilled; targeted outreach to subsidy-eligible families could reach 80%+ occupancy without infrastructure investment
  • Digital marketing opportunity — website and Facebook are active; expanding to Instagram, Google Business, and paid digital could accelerate inquiry volume quickly
  • School-age expansion — before and after school care is already offered; strengthening relationships with nearby elementary schools could add consistent school-age enrollment
  • Employer-sponsored care — Huntsville is home to Sam Houston State University and correctional facility operations; employer-sponsored childcare partnerships represent an untapped enrollment channel

Workforce Solutions Subsidy Reimbursement Opportunity

Tasy Academy is located in Walker County, Texas. Centers that accept Workforce Solutions subsidy are reimbursed at daily rates per enrolled child. Rates increase with Texas Rising Star (TRS) quality rating. Tasy Academy holds 4-Star TRS certification — the highest reimbursement tier.

Tasy Academy operates with a cost structure dominated by staffing (approximately 62–70% of total expenses) and a leased facility at $2,400/month — one of the lowest occupancy costs in its licensed class. After documented add-backs including owner compensation, family wages, personal vehicle use, meals, repairs, and 401(k) fees, the business shows positive Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE): $52,867 in 2023, $32,137 in 2024, and $47,702 for full-year 2025. Note that 2023 also reflects $91,652 in TWC and BakerRipley grant income that does not appear in the 2024 P&L; buyers and their advisors should review this variance directly with the seller during due diligence. This is a transitional, going-concern acquisition — the buyer profile is an owner-operator who replaces the current director(s) and earns compensation through the business rather than passive investment return.

Located along State Highway 75 N in Huntsville, Walker County, Texas, Tasy Academy occupies a high-visibility corridor serving the greater Huntsville community. Within 3 miles of the center, there are approximately 1,481 children under age 5 and 1,161 children ages 5–9 — a combined feeder pool of over 2,600 young children in the primary service radius. The area’s income profile, with median household income of $27,138 at 3 miles, makes it an ideal demographic for CACFP participation and Workforce Solutions subsidy — two programs the center already actively participates in.

Within 1 mile of the center, the trade area encompasses 12,063 residents across 2,320 households. Median household income at 1 mile is $29,361, with approximately 47% of households earning under $35,000 annually — a concentration of income-eligible families for both Workforce Solutions subsidy and CACFP participation. This is the core demographic that 4-Star TRS certification and CACFP enrollment were built to serve, and the center is already positioned to capture it.

At 3 miles, the trade area grows to 37,366 residents with 11,434 households. Children under 5 total 1,481 and school-age children (5–9) number 1,161, giving the center a combined primary feeder pool of over 2,600 children within its primary service radius. The area’s younger median age profile (26.8 years at 3 miles) reflects a high concentration of young families — consistent with the center’s core enrollment demographic.

Huntsville is the Walker County seat and home to Sam Houston State University, correctional facilities, and surrounding agricultural/rural employment. The community has a stable population base and a persistent demand for licensed childcare from working families, many of whom qualify for state-subsidized care. With only 31 of 51 licensed seats currently filled, the center has meaningful capacity to serve additional families without expansion. The existing 4-Star TRS certification is the key competitive differentiator in this market — most competitors do not hold the same quality rating.
