Prominent Early Learning Center Sold in Seattle

HINGE Advisors is delighted to announce the sale of a well-known early learning center in Seattle, Washington.

Located in one of the fastest-growing markets in the country — and grounded by best-in-class curriculum, a focus on inclusivity, and a community of passionate teachers — the school experienced significant growth for more than a decade. Recognizing the right time for a personal transition, the owners selected HINGE Advisors to run a competitive process that would deliver the sale value their school demanded.

“Capitalizing on demand, we created a very competitive multiple offer situation while maintaining confidentiality,” says HINGE Transaction Advisor Mike Pepper. “This enabled our sellers to handpick a successor who they felt would be the best steward of their school and secure a rewarding deal that maximized the value of their business.”

The sellers remarked, "What stood out most was how genuine and non-transactional the experience felt. It was clear that HINGE had our best interests at heart. That kind of partnership is rare and deeply appreciated."

In addition to Mike Pepper leading the deal, this sale was facilitated by Senior Financial Analyst Rusty Bailey and Diligence Manager Melissa Davis, among additional early education experts at HINGE.

“This sale was a win-win for our sellers and the new owners,” adds Mike. “It represents the transfer of a legacy, an opportunity for founders to realize the return on years of hard work and dedication, and the start of an exciting new chapter for students and staff.”
