Wonderful, I was going to suggest taking newborns at least.

It sounds like it could be a wonderful program, perhaps even continue with the kids until they are 2 so it's not such a short relationship.

The daycare my kids go to has an "infant" room and a "ones" room, they are combined when ratios are low enough, but the ratios are the same for both groups per licensing.

They required kids to be napping on a 1 nap per day schedule, walking, and off bottles to move to the "ones" class (for some kids this was 14-15 months), and rates went down by about $5 per week when they moved.

A few times I was in there I could see that the providers were extremely overwhelmed even under the 1:4 radio. One staff member was taking care of 3 crying babies at one time, but that was definitely not the norm.
