Your post is overstated. Your question of ratios for 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 years in Maine includes both 1:7 and 1:8 ratios. The state's ratios for children 27 months to 3 years is 1:7. For children 3 years to 5 years it is 8:1. We will update our information to make months versus years more understandable. Thank you for the heads-up
