The state licenses this address more than once, to the same licensee. The day-care-center license is published separately as St. Michael Preschool Center, with its own license and its own inspection record.

Do you run St. Michael Infant Care Center? Shortlist has no tuition, hours or ratios for it, because the state does not publish that. Add what is missing. It is free and takes about ten minutes.
