Ranked by DaycareAlert's violations-based safety rating (recency-weighted state inspection findings), then by fewest recent violations. "Violations (2 yr)" counts citations in the last two years so cities and facilities are comparable regardless of how far back a state's records go. Data comes directly from state licensing agencies — always open a facility's full record before deciding.
