Why this rating
This daycare earned 3 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects a license in good standing and 10000% of lead teachers don't yet hold a degree or CDA. The structural rating also includes Louisiana's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet. Louisiana caps infant ratios at 1:5, toddler ratios at 1:7, and preschool ratios at 1:15. Lead-teacher education isn't regulated. Teachers must complete 12 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.
