How the report-card grades work

Each center is graded on independent pillars, and an overall letter is shown only when the data can support one — currently 15 of 50 centers. Every input is public: NJ state inspection records, Google reviews, and the state's voluntary Grow NJ Kids program. Hover or tap any grade for its full breakdown.

  • Safety & compliance (50%) — from official NJ inspection reports, last 3 years. Findings are weighed by what the inspector wrote: safety-critical issues (supervision, ratios, fire safety, multiple missing background checks) count heavily; routine paperwork barely. Open, uncorrected violations dominate the score. Needs 3+ inspections on record.
  • Parent sentiment (35%) — Google rating weighted by review count, so a perfect score from a handful of reviews can't outrank a near-perfect one from ninety. Needs 5+ reviews.
  • Program quality (15%) — Grow NJ Kids level or a named curriculum. Bonus-only: the program is voluntary, so not participating never lowers a grade.
  • Cost & waitlist — crowdsourced from parents, shown as facts once 3+ reports arrive. Price never moves the letter.

Guardrails: missing data means “not graded,” never a low grade. Grades floor at C — when open violations pull a center below that, we show the actual citations instead of a letter, with a link to the official state file. Grades recompute automatically as new state inspections and parent reports come in. These grades are our editorial synthesis of public records for parents' research — not an official rating.
