Class Sizes and Child-to-Teacher Ratios

Research has shown that small class sizes and lower teacher-to-child ratios increase the quality of care and education children receive. Every effort is made to maintain optimum class sizes and ratios in programs at the Children's Center. However, adjustments in classes are sometimes needed to meet the needs of children and staff in our programs.

Typical classes have the following configurations:

ProgramClass SizeTeacher-To-Child Ratio
3 Year Old Preschool16-18 Children1:8-9 Ratio
4 Year Old Preschool18-20 Children1:9-10 Ratio
Kindergarten20-22 Children1:10-11 Ratio
