This is daycare report card. A look in to daycare facilities and how they rate in Tennessee’s three star rating system. One, two and three stars, shows that a center goes above and beyond the minimum operation requirements. Zero stars is not a bad rating, it just indicates that a facility meets the minimum requirements.
On this week’s daycare report card we take a look at two local child care facility that scored three out of three stars from the state of Tennessee’s three star rating program. And one facility that scored zero out of three stars.
