Why this rating
This daycare earned 2 out of 5 stars overall. Note: state records show 1 past adverse action on this facility's license. Process quality reflects a Keystone STARS rating of STAR 1. Structural quality reflects a 100% violation rate across 5 visits in the last 3 years (most recently inspected February 2026).
