Supervision, Ratios, and Group Size Requirements
 

22VAC40-665-650

There is a shortage of child care, especially for infants and toddlers, in our community.  Restricting group size, regardless of the amount of space that is available, may cause centers to have to reduce the number of children they serve.  This will cause an even greater shortage of care.  A possible solution would be to divide the open space into different areas including one large area for sleeping infants and other spaces for different infant/toddler activities.
