§1596.956 Child day care centers serving infants; optional toddler program; departmental guidelines and regulations: (a) The department shall develop guidelines... to create a special program component for children between 18 months to three years of age. The optional toddler program shall be subject to the following basic conditions: (4) A ratio of six children to each teacher shall be maintained for all children in attendance at the toddler program. This requirement was not met as evidenced by LPA observation, face to name sheets and interviews. This may pose a threat to the health and safety of children in care.
