Why this rating
This daycare earned 5 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects a license in good standing. The structural rating also includes Nevada's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet. Nevada caps infant ratios at 1:6, toddler ratios at 1:6, and preschool ratios at 1:13. Lead-teacher education isn't regulated. Teachers must complete 24 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.
