I have a C-3 license. This means that I can have 14 children with a helper present. The breakdown of the children ages is as follows: You may have up to 4 infants and toddlers, of that number only 3 can be infants. I can also have 6 more preschool children with 4 infants and toddlers. The balance (4) must be children who are school aged. a C-2 license may have up to 12 children, of that 3 may be infants or toddlers, and of that number only 2 may be infants. One may also have 8 more preschool children and 2 school age children. There is also a C-1 license and is works pretty much the same with only a total of 10 children. 2 may be infants or toddlers and 6 preschool age with 2 being school age. Confusing - yes? What are your ratios? Sue Name: Email: Subject
