This daycare earned 5 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects a license in good standing. The structural rating also includes West Virginia's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet. West Virginia caps infant ratios at 1:4, toddler ratios at 1:4, and preschool ratios at 1:12. Lead teachers must hold a High School Diploma. Teachers must complete 15 hours of annual training.
