[quote=Anonymous]We had our son in a large center and it never felt chaotic.  They pushed the class sizes and ratios to as high as they could, but the space was big enough and well organized enough that everyone had room.  The classrooms were big, hallways wide, plenty of bathrooms, big playground onsite.

From 2 - 2 yrs 10 months he was in a classroom with 12 kids and 3 teachers.  Then he moved up to 16 kids and 2 teachers.

At the end of the day, they did consolidate the kids, but they always remained in ratio.  In fact it was usually very quiet when we arrived at around 5:45, with 3-4 kids and one teacher.  That's because it was a federal center and I think most of the feds did an early pickup, so there just were not that many kids at the end of the day.  So the upshot is that as PP said, it was calm at the end of the day when the kids needed it the most.

I think most importantly, the center was very well organized and run.  Professional admins, easy to communicate with, and they organized everything well.

IMO "chaos" is not something you should ever experience at a childcare center.  [/quote]
