One child had been sent over there from the 2 year old class by his caregiver because the child wanted to go. I informed her that he must come back to his own classroom as that caregiver already had too many children in her class without that extra one. CHILD CAREGIVER RATIO MUST BE IN COMPLIANCE BY THE COMPLIANCE DATE INDICATED. A FULL PERMIT WILL NOT BE ISSUED WTIHOUT PROPER CHILD CAREGIVER RATIO IN PLACE.”

I spoke to the person who makes the snacks to send to the classroom and she said she will start sending a pitcher of water as well as milk to the classrooms for snack.”
