WAUWATOSA — Finding the right child care arrangement — whether it's in-home, a licensed center, school-related or otherwise, is different for each family. Age, pricing, availability, resources, accreditation and flexibility are some of the big factors that families consider when picking the best fit for their situation.

As of May 2016, there are 36 licensed child care centers listed in Wauwatosa. Of those, a majority participate in Wisconsin's Young Star rating system. Each year, YoungStar-rated child care programs go through a 40-point evaluation process, which is specific to each program’s size and structure.

5 Stars: Meets highest levels of quality standards

4 Stars: Meets elevated levels of quality standards

3 Stars: Meets proficient quality standards

2 Stars: Meets health and safety standards

1 Star: Does not meet health and safety standards, and therefore cannot participate in YoungStar.
