Stewarding the quiet and quick saleof California's most carefully built schools.
We specialize in the confidential sale of independent preschools, child development centers, private elementary schools, and school properties. From valuation through closing, we help owners maximize value while protecting the legacy they've built.

An advisory built around a simple conviction.
The schools we represent were built deliberately, over decades, classroom by classroom, family by family. They deserve a sale process that honors that work.
School Brokers, Inc. is a specialist advisory practice serving owners of private preschools, child development centers, and independent schools across California. We work confidentially, on retainer, with a small number of engagements at a time.
Discretion from the start
Every engagement is handled with complete discretion. Listings are marketed confidentially, and no identifying information is shared until a prospective Buyer has been pre-screened, financially qualified, and has executed a Non-Disclosure Agreement.
Finding the right Buyer
We carefully evaluate every prospective Buyer for financial capability, operational experience, and long-term fit before facilitating an introduction. Our process prioritizes successful transitions along with smooth transactions.
Protecting what you've built
A successful sale is about more than changing ownership. We help structure transitions that preserve your school's culture, support your staff and families, and ensure continuity for the children you serve.
