Why this rating
This daycare earned 3 out of 5 stars overall. Process quality reflects a Granite Steps for Quality rating of Level 2 (out of 4). Structural quality reflects a 50% violation rate across 5 visits in the last 3 years (most recently inspected February 2026) and a license in good standing. The structural rating also includes New Hampshire's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet. New Hampshire caps infant ratios at 1:4, toddler ratios at 1:5, and preschool ratios at 1:12. Lead teachers must hold a High School Diploma. Teachers must complete 18 hours of annual training.
