Why this rating
This daycare earned 5 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects a license in good standing.

Maryland caps infant ratios at 1:3, toddler ratios at 1:3, and preschool ratios at 1:10. Lead teachers must hold a High School Diploma. Teachers must complete 12 hours of annual training.
