Why this rating

This daycare earned 4 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects a 33% violation rate, no complaints on record, and a license in good standing. The structural rating also includes California's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet. California 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. Annual training isn't required by the state. No objective process measures (e.g., state quality rating or national accreditation) are available for this daycare. The overall rating reflects structural features only.

LPA observed that there was a bent in fence post, rusted and protruding sharp wires coming from accessible areas of the chain link fence in the same corner and other areas of the chain link fence. There was hard dirt where sand should be inside the sand box. The sand box area was unleveled to the cement ground with an approximately 12 deep difference from cement ground, causing risk of children falling into the hole. There was protruding cement exposed near a post surrounding the sand area. Also in the sand area, there was wood boards and posts that had chipped paint or that were completely unpainted, exposing rough wood surface. Three of the metal play structures had chipped paint and had rusting. Photos were taken and licensee confirmed the observations.
