746.1613(a) - Reduction of child/caregiver naptime ratio by 50% allowed, If 13 or more children in care, children are 18 mo. or older and other standards met
“The operation combined two groups at the end of nap time to faciltiate a restroom break for a caregiver, but the youngest child was a 17 month old and ended up being mixed with children up to 5 years old. The presence of the infant also left the entire combined group out of ratio.”
