Why this rating
This daycare earned 5 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects no injury reports on file.

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.
