Why this rating
This daycare earned 4 out of 5 stars overall. Structural quality reflects an 18% violation rate across 11 visits in the last 3 years (most recently inspected March 2026) and a license in good standing. The structural rating also includes New York's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet. New York caps infant ratios at 1:4, toddler ratios at 1:5, and preschool ratios at 1:8. Lead teachers must hold a Child Development Associate (CDA). Teachers must complete 15 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.
