What is your teacher/aide to student ratio?
How large is your class size?
We strive to keep the class size small and the teacher-student ratio low as well. An absolute maximum class size would be 12 children but optimally no more than 8 children per class. The teacher-student ratio will be kept below 1:3 and 1:2 for most activities. Based on a child's needs, a 1:1 ratio for certain activities can be planned into their individual program.
