I don't like centers, big schools. Kids don't get much individual attention there. Too many kids.

In-home daycares are allowed to have much worse ratios than centers.[/quote]

7 kids for 2 or 3 teachers in a home daycare? That's pretty good

Centers are 12 toddlers for 1 teacher, they keep swapping, moving the assistants to all classes[/quote]

Which state requires 2 or 3 teachers for 7 kids in an in-home?

In MD it is 1 teacher for 8 kids including 2 babies in an in-home.

In a center if a mixed age group includes 1 or 2 infants the group cannot be larger than 9 and they need 2 staff members.
For a class of "toddlers" (ages 12-24 months) they need 3 teachers for 9 kids in a center
For a class of 2 year olds they can have 12 kids in a class but need 2 teachers in a center.

Nothing against in-homes at all but don't assume the ratios are better. They can be and often are worse, especially for infants. Not always certainly.
