Consultation was given on balanced mixed age (BMA) grouping for Montessori programs. Ratios for children ages three to six are eligible for the 1:14 ratio. If a 2 year old child is moved prior to turning three years of age the parent must give permission, staff complete assessments and the ratio reverts back to 1:10.

An unannounced monitoring visit was conducted. 68 children were present in 4 classrooms with direct care staff in ratio for supervision as well as 2 high school seniors working on their senior projects. Observed children in circle time, transition to the restroom, preparation for outside play time, free choice and snack. Snack served today was fruit and cheese. Children bring their lunches from home. Reviewed one newly hired staff record, a sample of children's records, emergency preparation, training requirements, physical space and nutrition/hand washing. The information gathered during the inspection determined no violations with applicable standards or law. No violations were issued. Feel free to contact me if you need any assistance.
