ChildCareEd Business Broker Program

The ChildCareEd Business Broker Program helps connect people who are interested in buying, selling, opening, or expanding a child care business. The program is led by Hwaida Hassanein and provides a private way for potential buyers, sellers, and consulting clients to share their goals and explore next steps. All interested contacts should first complete the Private Child Care Business Buyer/Seller Interest Form.

After the form is reviewed, qualified leads may be scheduled for a free consultation with Hwaida. From there, they may be offered support such as buyer readiness, seller readiness, licensing help, property review, staff training, or business consulting.
