Why this rating
This daycare earned 4 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects a 14% violation rate across 7 visits in the last 3 years (most recently inspected January 2026) and a license in good standing. The structural rating also includes Florida's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet. Florida caps infant ratios at 1:4, toddler ratios at 1:6, and preschool ratios at 1:20. Lead teachers must hold a High School Diploma. Teachers must complete 10 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.
