Article 5101:2-12-34 of the Ohio Administrative Code lists the following standards concerning maximum number of children per staff member. The state requires one childcare staff for:

  • Every 5 infants, who are less than twelve months old, except those two staff members in the same room may care for 12 infants who are less than twelve months old.
  • Every 6 infants who are at least twelve months old, but less than eighteen months old.
  • Every 7 toddlers who are at least eighteen months old, but less than thirty months old.
  • Every 8 toddlers who are at least thirty months old, but less than three years old. 
  • Every 12 preschool children who are three years old.
  • Every 14 preschool children who are four years old or five years old, who are not school children.
  • Every 18 school children who are less than eleven years old.

When there is a combination of ages within a group of children, the age of the youngest child shall determine the maximum number of children per childcare staff member; except that when no more than one child thirty months of age or older receives care in a group in which all other children are in the next older age group, the maximum number of children per staff member requirements of the older group shall apply.

Kiddieland will observe these rules at all times.
