When children are grouped in mixed age levels, the age of the youngest child in the group determines the staff:child ratio and maximum group size in accordance with the requirements at §3280.52(b). The required staff:child ratios must be maintained at all times.
During the Renewal Inspection on 5/7/2025, Staff #1 had a mixed age group of 5 children in care. The group consisted of 2 infants, 1 young toddler, 1 older toddler and 1 preschool child. This mixed age group of children requires two staff persons to maintain the required staff to child ratio.
