Why this rating
This daycare earned 2 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects a 361% violation rate across 5 visits in the last 3 years (most recently inspected August 2025) and a license that's pending or provisional. The structural rating also includes Connecticut's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet. Connecticut caps infant ratios at 1:4, toddler ratios at 1:4, and preschool ratios at 1:10. Lead teachers must hold a High School Diploma. No objective process measures (e.g., state quality rating or national accreditation) are available for this daycare. The overall rating reflects structural features only.
