The Daycare Confidence Index is an informational rating based on public records and parent reviews. It is not a certification of safety or quality, does not guarantee future performance, and should not be the sole basis for selecting childcare. Families should always visit providers, ask questions, review official records, and use their own judgment when making childcare decisions.
