How we rank
We start from the Google parent reviews on every Bucks County listing in our directory. Each center is scored on both its average rating and how many reviews stand behind it, so a 4.9 across 60 reviews outranks a 5.0 from two or three parents. Centers that are closed or unpublished are left out, along with listings outside the county. Nobody pays to be ranked.
