Why this rating
This daycare earned 4 out of 5 stars overall. Process quality reflects a Connecticut OEC Elevate rating of Member Accredited and NAFCC accreditation. Structural quality reflects a 244% violation rate across 7 visits in the last 3 years (most recently inspected September 2025) and a license in good standing. The structural rating also includes Connecticut's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet. Connecticut caps infant ratios at 1:4, toddler ratios at 1:4, and preschool ratios at 1:10. Lead teachers must hold a High School Diploma.
