What this means for owners

A growth metro where every surveyed school is La Petite.

Metro Las Vegas kept growing from 2018 to 2023 while household income rose sharply — and like most Sun Belt metros, its under-5 count eased as growth came from arriving families rather than births.

All five schools we surveyed here are La Petite Academies, with infant rates clustered between $1,585 and $1,858 a month. In a market this concentrated, an independent or differently-branded center with solid enrollment stands out to buyers.
