Review of the 15 minute ratio checks were completed and on 4/2/19 at 9:15am the Beginner's classroom had 17 children with 2 staff. During the next 15 minute check at 9:30, the room was back in ratio with 17 children and 3 staff. 3.

At 8:02am there were 10 children with 1 staff. The classroom came back into ratio at 8:13am with 10 children and 2 staff. 5.
