Why this rating

This daycare earned 2 out of 5 stars overall. Heads-up: this facility's license is currently under sanction or carries an open enforcement action. Structural quality reflects a 21% violation rate across 39 visits in the last 3 years (most recently inspected April 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. New York caps infant ratios at 1:4, toddler ratios at 1:5, and preschool ratios at 1:8. Lead teachers must hold a Child Development Associate (CDA). Teachers must complete 15 hours of annual training. No objective process measures (e.g., state quality rating or national accreditation) are available for this daycare. The overall rating reflects structural features only.
