Why this rating
This daycare earned 4 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects an 88% violation rate and a license in good standing.

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.
