The Licensing for the staff/child ratio in a classroom of three year old is 1:10. You have 22 three year old in your center. What is the minimum number of staff you need to meet the licensing ?
To determine the minimum number of staff required to meet the licensing ratio of 1:10 for a classroom of 22 three-year-olds, you need to divide the total number of children by the maximum number of children per staff.
First, calculate the maximum number of children per staff by dividing the total number of children in the classroom by the staff-to-child ratio. In this case, the ratio is 1:10.
Maximum number of children per staff = 22 / 10 = 2.2
Since you cannot have a fraction of a staff member, you need to round up to the nearest whole number to ensure you have enough staff members to meet the ratio.
Therefore, the minimum number of staff needed to meet the licensing ratio is 3.
