CMK Properties Announces Successful Capital Raise for Early Childhood Education Development Fund

Brentwood, TN – CMK Properties announced today the successful completion of its capital raise in partnership with Ausdal Financial Partners, securing approximately $10 million to support the development of new early childhood education facilities in high-growth markets.

The capital has been deployed toward the development of three Learning Zone preschool sites across the Nashville, Tennessee and Huntsville, Alabama markets. With this final raise, CMK Properties completes its early childhood education development initiative, bringing its total portfolio to 10 properties built for the Learning Zone.

“This milestone represents the culmination of a significant effort to deliver high-quality early childhood education facilities in growing communities,” said John Hopfensperger, Founder and CEO of CMK Properties. “We are grateful for the support of our capital partners and the advisors who recognized the importance of investing in facilities that serve families and meet a critical community need.”

The fundraise reflects continued investor interest in essential-use real estate sectors, particularly early childhood education, where demographic trends and growing workforce participation have driven sustained demand for reliable childcare options.

Jeff Simpson, CEO of Ausdal, said, “We appreciated the opportunity to participate in this offering with CMK Properties. Early childhood education real estate represents a meaningful sector supported by long-term demand and community impact.”

Rob DeVita, EVP, Business Development, added, “We were pleased to be involved in this initiative and value the opportunity to provide our clients with access to thoughtfully developed real estate in essential-use sectors like childcare.”

Through this initiative, CMK Properties has delivered a portfolio of purpose-built early childhood education facilities for the Learning Zone, designed to support both investor outcomes and the local families within the communities they serve.
