On the show today, Zach and Lisa Hansen share what it really takes to sell a preschool in California. From the mandatory 30 day notice to families and staff to the emotional weight of announcing a deal before it is fully complete, this is the real story behind a business exit.
Zach and Lisa built Growing Brilliant into multiple preschool locations before transitioning ownership and launching a national online early learning platform. This episode explores both sides of that journey. The process of selling a small business and the commitment to reinventing early childhood education.
In this episode, we cover:
• What selling a preschool actually looks like
• Managing parents and staff during a major transition
• Why guided play matters in early childhood education
• Scaling with integrity and protecting culture
• Building, selling, and building again as founders
For entrepreneurs considering an exit, educators leading teams, or parents who care about early learning, this conversation offers a clear look at the anxiety, the process, and the reality of selling a company while staying true to the mission.
