For family offices, private equity, franchise development capital, and angel syndicates

The childcare industry is a
$60 billion market
with a structural gap no operator has closed.
Until now.

Victory Learning Academy is the first licensed, 24/7 childcare and early education operator in the Columbia, SC metro. We are not a daycare. We are not a babysitting service. We are the infrastructure layer that the American shift-work economy has been missing for forty years -- and we are building the franchise system to replicate it nationally.

The Investment Thesis

Three structural forces have converged to create a category-defining opportunity.

The Workforce Shift

The American economy has permanently shifted toward 24/7 service operations. Healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, hospitality, and public safety now employ tens of millions of workers in shift patterns that standard childcare hours cannot serve. This is not a trend. It is a structural reality that has been building for forty years.

The Supply Gap

The licensed childcare industry has not responded to this shift. The overwhelming majority of licensed childcare facilities in the United States operate on a 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM model that was designed for a 9-to-5 economy. The gap between workforce demand and childcare supply is not a niche. It is the primary driver of female workforce attrition in the American service economy.

The Regulatory Moat

Licensing requirements for childcare facilities create a meaningful barrier to entry. A competitor cannot simply decide to operate 24/7 overnight. They must obtain licensure, hire credentialed staff for every operating hour, build compliant facilities, and navigate state regulatory frameworks. VLA has done this. It took years. That timeline is the moat.

The Financial Architecture

Three revenue streams. One operating model.

Revenue Stream	Description	Year 3 Contribution
Direct Enrollment	Full-time and part-time enrollment across all three shifts. 6 AM–2 PM, 2 PM–10 PM, 10 PM–6 AM.	$620K–$980K
Employer Partnerships	Block-reserved enrollment contracts with hospitals, logistics operators, and municipal employers.	$180K–$380K
Practitioner Network	Space rental and membership fees from doulas, lactation consultants, and family educators.	$105K–$220K
Total		$905K–$1.58M
