Why this rating
This daycare earned 3 out of 5 stars overall. Process quality reflects a Step Up to Quality rating of Level 3. Structural quality reflects Ohio's state-funded pre-K program standards (stronger ratios, group sizes, and teacher requirements than the general licensing minimum), applied because this facility operates a state-funded pre-K classroom.
