Group Size
 

Due to the increasing demand of infant care and toddler care, especially in densely populated areas, we object to limiting the group size if it reduces capacity/accessibility for licensed infant/toddler care. Where this may be more easily planned for prior construction, it’s difficult for many centers to conform now.  At the very least, we are asking for assurances that a variance may be granted for centers physically unable to meet this requirement, to continue care, for the current number of infants in care.
