Why this rating
This daycare earned 4 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects a 20% violation rate. The structural rating also includes Iowa's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet.

No objective process measures (e.g., state quality rating or national accreditation) are available for this daycare. The overall rating reflects structural features only.
