Child/Staff Ratios

CDCB operates with child to staff ratios that are lower than those typically seen in preschool settings and meet or exceed the recommendations of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).  Our belief is that reduced ratios allow us to be more attentive to the needs of children while being able to support their verbal, social, and cognitive development. 

Child to staff ratios alone, however, do not predict quality of care.  CDCB teachers engage children in warm social interactions that foster acceptance and confidence.  Our teachers design a developmentally appropriate environment that is engaging and challenging while still maintaining a foundation of safety and nurturing.
