Group Sizing Requirements
 
  • 22VAC40-185-350.  Staff-to-children ratio and group size requirements

  • We object to this concept because it not only limits the amount of space for the children to learn and grown physically and educationally, it causes confusion for those who may not understand why they are limited in space and involvement with their fellow peers. It also disturbs the fluidity of teamwork that the teacher and aides may have built if they are separated into groups rather than a whole class.
