Full Ranking Detail
childcare
Willard Child Development Center LLC is a licensed, center-based provider in Willard serving infants through school-age children since 2018. The center holds SUTQ Silver rating and accepts PFCC subsidies, with extended hours from 5:30 AM to 5:30 PM weekdays supporting working families. However, its inspection history shows an ongoing pattern of partially compliant findings across 2022, 2024, and 2025 annual inspections plus a 2025 complaint investigation, and a parent review raised safety concerns about staff conduct without center response—flags warranting direct inquiry before enrollment.
