This daycare earned 3 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects 2 complaints in the last 3 years and 5 injury reports on file.

Delaware caps infant ratios at 1:4, toddler ratios at 1:6, and preschool ratios at 1:12. Lead teachers must hold a High School Diploma. Teachers must complete 18 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.
