Hi guys,

I have a facility with about 60 kids. We've lost a couple of kids due to the economy and so I'm now looking at ways to keep us going through these financial hardship times.

I looked at my child-to-teacher ratio and in some classrooms, where I used to need 2 teachers, now I only need 1. My question to those who've done this before. If I had 1 teacher in a classroom and I am within ratio, how do you handle it if a child needs to go to the bathroom? The teacher will have to escort the child to the bathroom, so no one would be left to attend the other children. I assume the state allows this or they would have changed ratio requirements to have minimum of 2 teachers for a class that's more than 1 kid.

Thanks
