  • Licensed Child Care Centres – Age Grouping, Ratios, Group Size And
    Licensed Child Care Centres AGE GROUPING, RATIOS, GROUP SIZE AND STAFF QUALIFICATIONS OVERVIEW A new optional approach to age groupings, ratios and staff qualifications will be implemented starting September 1, 2017. Under the new approach, licensees will have the option of operating under the current requirements for age groupings, ratios, and qualifications (Schedule 1) or applying to adopt the new option (Schedule 2). Licensees and new applicants will have the opportunity to apply for a licence under Schedule 2, which would be approved based on set criteria. By providing greater flexibility to licensees to apply to adopt the new age groupings or maintain status quo, the ministry aims to address the complex relationship between staff-child ratios, group size and educator training/qualifications while meeting the varied needs of families, children, and communities in Ontario and supporting successful business models. This fact sheet is intended to highlight some of the key licensing requirements for implementing the new Schedule 2. ontario.ca/childcare BLEED Here are the requirements for age groupings, ratios, maximum number of children, and minimum number of qualified staff under Schedule 2 Name of Age Age Range Ratio of Staff to Maximum Minimum Category Children Number of Number of Children Qualified Staff Infant/Toddler Younger than 1 to 3 12 2 out of 3 24 months (younger than 12 months) 1 to 4 (12 months – younger than 24 months) Preschool 24 months or 1 to 8 24 2 out of 3 older but younger than 5 years Kindergarten 44 months or 1 to 13 26 1 out of 2 older but younger than 7 years Primary/ 68 months or 1 to 15 30 1 out of 2 junior school older but younger age than 13 years Junior school 9 years or older 1 to 20 20 1 out of 1 age but younger than 13 years Can centres adopt Schedule 2 but only enrol children between certain ages (i.e., 12–24 months)?

  • Transition from Infant to Junior School This Guidance Was Co-Produced in Collaboration with a Number of Organisations Including
    Transition from infant to junior school This guidance was co-produced in collaboration with a number of organisations including: Access Through Technology Family Voice Norfolk 2 What is transition? Our lives are full of change, during which we transition or move from one stage to another. A transition from one educational setting to another can be a very anxious time for both parent carers and for their children. This guide is to help parent carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) who are preparing to move from an infant school (key stage 1) to a junior school (key stage 2). Pupils transfer from infant to junior school at the end of year 2, in the new academic year following their 7th birthday. If your child is in a primary school, there is no need to read any further. Your child will stay in the same setting and will move up to the next year group automatically - see guidance on ‘Moving from class to class.’ How do we plan for success? Effective transitions rely upon… ✓ Good planning ✓ Good communication Good transition planning benefits all children and young people. However, for those with additional needs, including SEND, additional planning will be required to ensure that transition is successful. 3 When should I start to think about a school for year 3? If your child does not have an education, health and care plan (EHCP)… ✓ Start to think about possible schools for year 3 by the Autumn of the year before your child is due to start (at the latest) ✓ Apply for a junior school placement in the usual
