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:
| Program | Class Size | Teacher-To-Child Ratio |
| 3 Year Old Preschool | 16-18 Children | 1:8-9 Ratio |
| 4 Year Old Preschool | 18-20 Children | 1:9-10 Ratio |
| Kindergarten | 20-22 Children | 1:10-11 Ratio |
| Elementary Programs | 14 Children | 1:14 Ratio |
