Why this rating
This daycare earned 3 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects a 57% 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. No objective process measures (e.g., state quality rating or national accreditation) are available for this daycare. The overall rating reflects structural features only.
