In mixed-age groups that include children 1 year but under 2 years of age, one staff member shall be responsible for no more than how many children of any age group?

• A. Four children
• B. Five children
• C. Six children
• D. Seven children

Answer: (C)

This question tests the staffing ratio used for mixed-age groups. When a group includes children around 1 year old up to under 2 years, one staff member should supervise no more than six children of any age group. This cap helps ensure there’s enough supervision and attention for each child across the different ages present. If there are seven children, you’d need an additional staff member; four or five would be under the allowed maximum, and six is the exact limit.
