• The minimum primary staff member to children ratio, and
• The maximum number of children who may be included in a group:

• Where 7 or more children are present at a program, whether on or off the program premises, a minimum of 2 adults, one of whom is a primary staff member, are on duty.
• 1 in 4 staff must be a level 2 (CDW) or higher.
• Parent volunteers may be considered as staff members but are still not allowed to be unsupervised and do not count toward ratio.
• Adult volunteers may be considered as staff members and are still not allowed to be unsupervised and do not count toward ratio.
