CCEYA has specific regulations and requirements based on the teacher/child ratio. Between the hours of 8:30am-5:00pm lower child ratios are maintained inside the classroom and on the playground at all times. Higher child ratios (two-thirds increased ratios) are permitted between the hours of 7:00am-8:30am & 5:00pm-6:00pm.
The two-thirds ratio only applies to the Toddler, Preschool and the Kindergarten & School-Age full day programs, the Infant program maintains the lower child ratio at all times.
