Why this rating
This daycare earned 4 out of 5 stars overall. Heads-up: this facility's license is currently under sanction or carries an open enforcement action. Process quality reflects a QUALITYstarsNY rating of Level 4 (out of 5) and NAEYC accreditation. Structural quality reflects a 50% violation rate across 6 visits in the last 3 years (most recently inspected February 2026) and a license currently under sanction (probation or restriction). The structural rating also includes New York's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet.
