Why this rating
This daycare earned 1 out of 5 star overall. Heads-up: this facility's license is currently under sanction or carries an open enforcement action. Structural quality reflects a license currently under sanction (probation or restriction). The structural rating also includes Minnesota's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet. Minnesota caps infant ratios at 1:4, toddler ratios at 1:7, and preschool ratios at 1:10. Lead teachers must hold a Child Development Associate (CDA). 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.
