Why this rating
This daycare earned 5 out of 5 stars overall. Process quality reflects NAEYC accreditation. Structural quality reflects an 8% violation rate and a license in good standing. The structural rating also includes California's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet. California caps infant ratios at 1:4, toddler ratios at 1:6, and preschool ratios at 1:12. Lead teachers must hold a High School Diploma. Annual training isn't required by the state.
