I am a parent and I think 1:4 ratio for babies is acceptable but 1:5 would be a stretch. I would not enroll my babies in a place with more than 8 babies.

I would also not be super excited to enroll at a place that seems temporary. 5-18 months is just over a year --- and then the parent has to look for different care?

Maybe you build your group as babies so you have a core group of kids close in age. Is there a reason you aren't taking babies younger than 5 months?
