The ratio for centers in NC is:

Up to 17 Months (1:5)
18 months (1:6)
27 months (1:10)
3 years (1:15)
4 years (1:20)
5 - 9 years (1:25)
10 years and older (1:25)

I got this off of the daycare.com licensing standards page. It doesn't quite make since, but this is what it said. I've never heard of a center that allows only 12 children. That sounds more like a home daycare. Are you sure you mean a center?

yes it is a home that allows you to have up to 12 kids. they call it a residential center. a normal home daycare allows 8 kids thank you.
