[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daycare: 8 kids 1 teacher, with infants you need 1 or another 2nd teacher as well. Depends on the state. Maryland has good ratios. Virginia, not so good [/quote] huh? I think Virginia's ratios are great and wouldn't want any stricter. Also, these are the bottom limits. Our daycare has extra teachers too so that if one goes to the bathroom, they are still within ratio. Plus there are additional people who are helping prepare meals, cleaning up or doing other things that aren't the main teachers. 1. For children from birth to the age of 16 months: one staff member for every four children; 2. For children 16 months to two years: one staff member for every five children; 3. For two-year-old children: one staff member for every eight children; 4. For children from three years to the age of eligibility to attend public school, five years by September 30: one staff member for every 10 children;[/quote]
