Why this rating
This daycare earned 4 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects a 33% violation rate, no complaints on record, and a license in good standing. The structural rating also includes California's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet. California caps infant ratios at 1:4, toddler ratios at 1:6, and preschool ratios at 1:12. Lead teachers must hold a High School Diploma. Annual training isn't required by the state. No objective process measures (e.g., state quality rating or national accreditation) are available for this daycare. The overall rating reflects structural features only.

Based on observation, the licensee did not comply with the section cited above. Children exit the classroom into a hallway to go outside. The first door on the left of the hallway is a storage closet and was closed, but did not have a lock or child safety lock on the door, making the cleaners inside accessible to children, which posed a potential health, safety risk to persons in care.
