Why this rating

This daycare earned 3 out of 5 stars overall. Process quality reflects a QUALITYstarsNY rating of Level 1 (out of 5).

The structural rating also includes New York's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet.

Teachers must complete 15 hours of annual training.
