Why this rating
This daycare earned 5 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects a 7% violation rate across 14 visits in the last 3 years (most recently inspected January 2026).

Missouri caps infant ratios at 1:4, toddler ratios at 1:4, and preschool ratios at 1:10. Lead-teacher education isn't regulated. Teachers must complete 12 hours of annual training.
