INFANT PROGRAM: TEACHER TO INFANT RATIO

WE STRIVE TO PROVIDE INDIVIDUALIZED ATTENTION FOR YOUR LITTLE ONE

PVMA Infant environments have a maximum of 12 infants and 4 adults (a 3:1 ratio), one of whom is also the Lead teacher. Though MN state licensing allows a 4:1 ratio for infants, we realize that a 3:1 ratio is better for your child because it allows for more individualized attention. While we strive to maintain the 3:1 ratio throughout the day, there are moments when we will need to provide care at a 4:1 ratio to allow for teacher breaks. When we launch a new Infant classroom, we may temporarily maintain a 4:1 ratio, as infants are slowly added to the program. Once our classroom is fully enrolled, we strive to achieve at 3:1 ratio for majority of the school day.  Though your child will interact with all teachers in the classroom on a daily basis, the classroom’s Lead Teacher will be the main point of contact for parent communication regarding your child.
