I may be missing something here? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I will admit that it might just be me, but I don't get what a business (much less a daycare for children) would actually advertise, out front on the fence, the fact that they have a "1 Star" rating?

Is this a stupid system where you could potentially have no stars at all? So having 1 does mean something?
I see it as a 1-5 system where 1 is the worst and 5 is the top. Restaurants/hotels, etc use this system as a way to showcase their quality/value.
To me, a 3 would be your everyday normal, stay away from 1 because they are bad. A 2 would be "acceptable" if you are in a hurry or it is really cheap or handy. That makes 4 "the good stuff" for the vast majority of people, because 5 is not that much better, just more expensive and pretentious.

So, is it just me seeing this wrong? or is a 1 really better than just no rating at all? Who does this rating and why would we believe them or care what they say?

I know some of you out there know this stuff.....

That's a real head-scratcher alright. Drop off your kids at the crappiest place in town!

Since it's called an award, my guess is that it's a series of five awards that you have to work to achieve. So maybe they got after it and achieved their first award.

I think that sign is proof of why they only have a have 1 star rating. I'm assuming that is the lowest. Five stars is usually the high point. For example a 5 star restaurant/hotel etc. And I think that they would be a little more discreet on the hiring of new employees. Not a banner on a fence.

My wife works in the medical field and they are rated on a star system for patient care. A one star rating generally means someone is getting fired soon. It's the bottom of the barrel.

If I had young kids I wouldn't go near that place.

Why doesnt someone call the number and find out?

Sounds affordable. Why pay for five star childcare when one star will do?

By 2020, any child care program wishing to provide publicly funded child care must be a star-rated program.

From a quick skim, more stars = more/longer trained teaching staff.
