Early Childhood Education made easy!

At ECEASY® we specialise in providing fully managed solutions to the Childcare sector. We call this our Childcare Management as a Service™ (CMaaS™) method.

Our Why

My 3 Reasons why I decided to launch ECEasy® - Nader Luthera, Founder & Managing Director

1

Passive Ownership

Until now, the childcare sector lacked a fully managed solution for passive investors and hands-off owners. ECEasy changes that—offering a structured, fully managed model where investors earn returns and owners keep ownership without operational stress. A smarter way to invest. A simpler way to own.

2

Fully Managed

Hotel and retail brands have offered fully managed hospitality solutions for decades. ECEasy has been launched to provide a similar fully managed childcare service model. Whether you're an investor seeking passive returns or an owner wanting passive income, we bring expert management, stable revenue, and long-term growth—without the daily involvement.

3

Passive Income

Owning a childcare center is rewarding, but the stress of staffing, compliance, and financial management can be overwhelming. ECEasy helps remove the burden—whether you want a hands-off investment, or, hassle-free ownership, we make it easy. Earn without the headaches. Grow without the risk.

AI SOFTWARE and SYSTEMS

Our proprietary software tools ECEASY® AI and KYLE® Care, in addition to our other tech stack enables us for scalability without compromise on efficiency and control.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Question icon

How do investors earn returns, and what are the risks?

💡 Investors earn dividends based on enrolment/attendance rates and financial performance, with a targeted payout of 7%-10% per year. Revenue is primarily backed by MoE government funding, ensuring a structured and predictable income stream, though actual returns depend on center performance. Disclaimer: Returns are based on financial performance and enrolment/attendance levels. Past performance does not guarantee future results. This offer is available only to wholesale investors as defined in the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. It is not suitable for retail investors. Further information is available upon request.

Question icon

As an investor, can I exit my investment or sell my stake at any time?

💡 For Investors: Investors have multiple structured exit options, including: ✔ Secondary market sales – Investors may sell their shares to other approved investors within the network. ✔ ECEasy buyout options – Subject to financial performance, liquidity conditions, and ECEasy’s acquisition strategy. ✔ Reinvestment into new childcare centers – Investors may have opportunities to reinvest returns into new acquisitions, subject to availability.
✔ Liquidity from ECEasy Childcare Sales – If ECEasy sells one or multiple childcare centers, investors may be offered a partial or full exit opportunity, depending on the amount of cash received from the sale and liquidity availability.
Disclaimer: Exit options are subject to market conditions, investment agreements, and the financial performance of the childcare center. ECEasy does not guarantee immediate liquidity or buyout offers at any given time. Investors should conduct their own due diligence before committing capital. This offer is available only to wholesale investors as defined in the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. It is not suitable for retail investors. Further information is available upon request.

Question icon

What makes this different from owning a childcare center independently?

💡 Running a childcare center independently requires extensive compliance, staffing management, as well as financial discipline and governance. Our model allows investors to participate passively and owners to keep their business without operational burdens. ECEasy provides a structured and scalable solution that optimizes performance and long-term sustainability. Disclaimer: ECEasy does not provide financial advisory services. Investors and owners should conduct their own due diligence before committing capital or signing management agreements. This offer is available only to wholesale investors as defined in the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. It is not suitable for retail investors. Further information is available upon request.

Question icon

What does ECEasy handle in the Fully Managed Childcare (FMC) model?

💡 ECEasy takes over all operational responsibilities, including staffing, compliance, financial governance (in collaboration with owners), marketing, and enrolment growth. Childcare owners retain ownership and profits while eliminating day-to-day management and operational stress.
Disclaimer: Under the fully managed model, ECEasy operates as a management service provider and does not assume liability for financial losses incurred by childcare owners. This offer is available only to wholesale investors as defined in the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. It is not suitable for retail investors. Further information is available upon request.

Question icon

As a Childcare Owner, under the Fully Managed Childcare (FMC) model, can I sell my childcare center?

💡 For Childcare Owners: ✔ Selling their center to ECEasy – in some cases, ECEasy may offer Right of First Refusal (ROFR), and may offer to purchase the center at the end of the contract term. ✔ Transferring ownership to another buyer – Owners are free to sell their center to another approved buyer. ECEasy can assist in facilitating the transition through a licensed broker if required. Disclaimer: Exit options are subject to market conditions, investment agreements, and the financial performance of the childcare center. ECEasy does not guarantee immediate liquidity or buyout offers at any given time. Investors should conduct their own due diligence before committing capital. This offer is available only to wholesale investors as defined in the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. It is not suitable for retail investors. Further information is available upon request.

Question icon

Why invest in childcare instead of other industries?

💡 The early childhood education sector is a high-demand, government-backed industry with long-term growth potential. Unlike other investments, childcare revenue is primarily funded by the New Zealand Ministry of Education (MoE), providing a stable and predictable income stream. ✔ High-Growth Sector – Demand for quality childcare continues to rise.
✔ Low Risk for AI & Robot Disruption – Childcare is still a very hands-on service. The importance of babies and children to be around nurturing and caring teachers with human touch continues to remain. This environment safeguards against AI and Robotic disruption. ✔ Government-Backed Funding – MoE provides consistent funding per child enrolled and frequently attending. ✔ Hands-Off Investment – ECEasy fully manages operations while investors earn structured returns. Disclaimer: Like any investment, returns depend on market conditions, enrolment/attendance numbers, and operational performance. This offer is available only to wholesale investors as defined in the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. It is not suitable for retail investors. Further information is available upon request.

How it works: For Childcare Owners

Our Fully Managed Childcare (FMC) model is a passive ownership model enables Childcare Owners to walk away from their business and continue to retain ownership. This model activates ECEasy to operate the service under our CMaaS™ (Childcare Management as a Service™) model. 

We charge a fixed % management fee (varies depending on size of service) directly from your MoE funding (paid termly as per funding cycle), which gives you certainty, predictability and stability.  It also ensures our performance remains incentivized against the success of your service, focusing on maintaining not just compliance, but also enrolment and attendance numbers.
