Why are Ratios and Group Size Important?

“The bigger the better” doesn’t necessarily apply to school-age programs. Children and staff benefit from following ratio and maximum group size requirements. Smaller group sizes can help ensure that there are enough staff members to maintain safety in the school-age program. Small group sizes create an environment where school-age children can feel emotionally secure and can form friendships with the staff and other children. In this environment, staff members are able to be more responsive and can nurture relationships between the children. Staff members know the children well, individualize interactions, and promote independence. Limiting the number of children in a school-age program also can improve job satisfaction for staff members.

什么是安全的员工到儿童比例？

有两个数字需要考虑：每个工作人员的儿童数量以及集团中的儿童人数。

安理会认证课后标准（2010年）和国家弥补硕士学位的质量学历标准提供了比率和小组规模的指导方针。这些组织推荐1:10或1:15的比率6岁及以上;1：8或1:12当该计划包括5岁以下的儿童。组大小不应超过30.重要的是要记住这些是指导方针。始终检查您的程序的程序，因为它们将有一个设定的比率策略供您遵循。

There may be times when a lower staff-to-child ratio is necessary. In groups where kindergarten-age children are present, there may be a different staff-child ratio than in an older, multi-age group. Different types and levels of activities will also determine the appropriate staff-child ratio and group sizes. When school-agers are learning a new or different skill, the staff-child ratios and group sizes should be kept small. Activities involving potentially dangerous equipment or experiences (such as swimming or woodworking) or field trips may require a lower staff-child ratio. Group sizes may tend to be larger with low-risk activities such as art, reading or quiet board games. Ratios must still be maintained, though. More adults may be necessary to maintain the safety of all children.

比率何时适用？

比率始终适用于您的计划在会话中。您必须保持警惕，维护适当的员工与儿童比例。这对孩子们的福祉和你自己很重要。标准比在室内和户外施用。在紧急情况下，可以在紧急情况下召唤另一名员工的手机是一个好主意，如果需要，召唤帮助，或者如果工作人员需要休息。

谁以比例计数？

At least two paid staff members must be present in the facility at all times when children are present. Only approved and evaluated staff members are counted in the ratio (staff, program assistants, substitutes). It is not appropriate to substitute non-teaching staff such as the food service personnel or custodians for teaching staff. For brief periods, such as when a staff member needs to use the restroom, an administrator or approved classroom support staff member can be counted in the ratio. The program ratio may not include volunteers unless they can meet personnel qualifications and are regularly taking part in the program. Be sure to check with your program’s policy on volunteers before allowing a volunteer to be counted in the ratio.

在特殊情况下应该如何保持比率？

在所有情况下维护比率和最大组大小至关重要。这意味着当发生不可预见的事件时，您可能需要能够快速和灵活地响应。自然灾害，医疗紧急情况和其他不可预测的事件可能具有挑战性。重要的是准备，有计划，并始终保持儿童的问责制。

If a child has to be transported for medical care, a staff member must stay with the child. If this should happen, it is important that there are enough staff members or adults available to remain with the other children. There are times staff members will find themselves ill at work. If this should happen, it is important to make sure there is another adult available if necessary to maintain the proper ratio.

看

学龄计划制定了各种各样的方式来维持问责制。观看以下视频并注意到该程序用于维护问责制的不同方法。

保持问责制

做

重要的是要随时为所有孩子保持问责制。按着这些次序：

• 始终知道您的小组中有多少钱。您应该能够始终说明您的护理中有多少孩子。
• 定期统计儿童名称面对面。每当留下一个区域并在整个一天的常规时刻都依靠每次过渡。
• 使用程序名单，允许您在儿童到达和离开时录制时钟时间。记录每小时的总出勤率。
• 如果您过度比率，请立即通知您的主管。如果您有更多的成年人，也通知您的主管。这些成年人可能需要其他地方，或者您的主管可能需要重新考虑人员配置时间表以获得最高效率。
