What is the staff-to-child ratio for children aged three and over?

The staff-to-child ratio for children aged three and over is one staff member to thirteen children. This ratio is established to ensure that children receive adequate supervision and support during their activities, promoting safety and allowing for meaningful interactions with caregivers.

Having one staff member for every thirteen children strikes a balance between providing enough adult presence to meet the developmental needs of children while also allowing for a manageable group size for staff. This approach is aligned with guidelines aimed at fostering a positive learning environment, ensuring that children can receive individual attention when needed, while also engaging in group play and social learning experiences with their peers.
