o2b Kids!

O2B Kids! is an early childhood education provider based in Gainesville, Florida, offering preschool, childcare, and enrichment programs for children from infancy through elementary school age. The company was founded in 1998 by Andy Sherrard and Danny Stevens, who set out to build a learning environment that encourages creativity, curiosity, and social growth. Since its first location, O2B Kids! has steadily grown its presence, reaching 52 centers as of November 2025.

Over the past five years, O2B Kids! has expanded beyond its Florida roots, entering new markets in Georgia and Missouri while continuing to focus on high-growth suburban areas. This recent growth includes the opening of several new centers in these states and the acquisition of established local childcare providers, which has helped the company broaden its reach and deepen its expertise. O2B Kids! now operates a flexible mix of freestanding buildings and converted retail spaces, adapting to a variety of property types and community layouts.

The brand is known for its vibrant, play-based approach to early education and its broad range of programs, which include preschool, after-school care, summer camps, and enrichment classes in subjects like the arts and sciences. O2B Kids! employs a large team of educators and support staff, serving thousands of families across its network. Its dedicated real estate team actively pursues new locations, with a particular focus on accessible sites in family-oriented neighborhoods. This approach allows O2B Kids! to maintain a steady pace of expansion and to offer landlords and developers a stable, service-driven tenant with a proven record of long-term site performance.
