Why this rating
This daycare earned 4 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects 14 complaints in the last 3 years and 3 injury reports on file. The structural rating also includes Delaware's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet. Delaware 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. Teachers must complete 18 hours of annual training. No objective process measures (e.g., state quality rating or national accreditation) are available for this daycare. The overall rating reflects structural features only.
