Higher concern: Staff-to-child ratio
- Report finding
- There were fourteen children in care with one caregiver. There were two children between the age of zero to seventeen months; eight children ages eighteen months to three years; and four children ages four years and older. The maximum number of children allowed for this age group was ten children to one caregiver. Therefore the child to caregiver ratio was deficient. This was corrected when one more caregiver was added and two children were picked up and removed from the operation. This left twelve children and two caregivers which is compliant for ratio.
