Annual count of children enrolled in child care centers by license rating of facility.
A rating of one star means that a child care program meets North Carolina’s minimum licensing standards for child care. Programs that choose to voluntarily meet higher standards can apply for a two to five star license. The star rating is comprised of a facility’s scores in three quality components: Staff Education, Program Standards and Compliance History. For more information on the Star Rated Licenses please refer to https://ncchildcare.ncdhhs.gov/Services/Licensing/Star-Rated-License.
