Why this rating
This daycare earned 4 out of 5 stars overall. Process quality reflects a YoungStar rating of 3 Star. Structural quality reflects a license in good standing. The structural rating also reflects Wisconsin's state-funded pre-K program standards (stronger ratios, group sizes, and teacher requirements than the general licensing minimum), applied because this facility operates a state-funded pre-K classroom.
