[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Family Daycares ratios are 2 infants for 1 staff and in centers is 3 infants for 1 staff in Maryland. I prefer Family Daycare. Centers has too many kids, less staff, they rotate the assistants to different rooms.[/quote] True but the family daycares may have older children in addition to the babies.[/quote] We left a family daycare that had one teacher for 8 children including our young toddler. Left for a center with 3 teachers for 6 babies. DD was noticeably happier.[/quote] The centers my daughter attended (we used 2, one pre-pandemic and another after a year out) were typically over staffed as well. The legal ratios are minimums. That means they often have more people when no one is on their lunch break. Like anything else it varies but we had positive experiences.[/quote]
