This daycare earned 4 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects a 36% violation rate and a license in good standing.

Texas caps infant ratios at 1:4, toddler ratios at 1:9, and preschool ratios at 1:18. Lead teachers must hold a High School Diploma. Teachers must complete 24 hours of annual training.
