Kiddie Academy franchisee Devinder Singh Josan has added an additional childcare center to his portfolio with a recent $12.3 million purchase. According to King County public records, the property, located in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood, was sold to Josan by AGM Real Estate, a Bellevue-based real estate investment company.
The 17,046 square-foot building is located at 601 Valley Street. The building was completed in 1969 and stands two stories high, according to property records.
The Queen Anne location is located on the corner of Valley Street and 6th Avenue, near various residential and retail properties. Additionally, several commercial properties border the site, including both Amazon and Facebook. The property is also in close proximity to State Road 99, providing easy access to the rest of Seattle.
The Valley Street property is just one of six Kiddie Academy locations owned by Josan. The franchisee owns half a dozen properties in Bothell, Bellevue, Kenmore, Kirkland, Mill Creek and Seattle.
“All Kiddie Academy franchisees share a passion for our industry, our brand, and the people who drive the company’s success every day. With so many dedicated professionals working to provide best-in-class early educational child care in an environment that fosters learning and development, as well as the highest safety standards, the ‘best of the best’ are truly doing an exceptional job,” Kiddie Academy CEO Greg Helwig said in a statement regarding Josan. “Devinder Singh Josan embodies the highest standards of professionalism and caring, and we are proud to recognize his contributions not only to Kiddie Academy, but also to so many Bellevue, Bothell, Kenmore, Kirkland, Mill Creek, and Seattle at Queen Anne families.”
