Daycare and Child Care Center appraisals in Connecticut
Appraisals of child care centers and daycare buildings, owner-occupied or leased, including purpose-built centers and converted houses and commercial buildings.
What drives daycare value
Licensed capacity
The number of children a building is licensed for, along with classroom layout and bathrooms, drives how it can be used.
Outdoor play area
Licensing requires outdoor space, so lot size and layout matter more than for most commercial property.
Real estate versus business
We value the real estate and separate it from the value of the child care business operating there.
Alternative uses
If the center closed, what would the building be used for next? That affects both value and the pool of buyers.

Do you appraise daycares for SBA loans?
Yes. Child care centers are a common SBA loan type, and we prepare appraisals that meet SBA requirements.
Is a daycare a special-purpose property?
Sometimes. Purpose-built centers can be limited-market properties, and we consider that in the analysis.
