What is the DC-regulation for class size for 3 year olds?

DCPS has it own cap for class size. Charters don't have a class size cap but do have regulations about teacher to student ratios. DCPS classes for PS/PK are small (18 students) with one teacher and 1 paraprofessional. Charters replace the paraprofessional with a teacher or teaching fellow. My child was at AppleTree last year and I liked that they had 1 teacher, 1 fellow and 1 aid (paraprofessional); however, there were 22 kids in the class and my child got overwhelmed by so many people. I also liked Montessori, but 25 kids didn't work either.

correction - Mundo Verde PS has 3 teachers

Yes, my mistake--PK4 has 2 with a floating aid between classrooms.

ELH actually has two teachers (one master and one newly-minted) and one aid.
