When you accept a position with infants, you are not aware of the state child care regulations on ratios. After several months of working in the center you learn that the state requirement is a ratio of no higher than 1 teacher to 5 infants under 12 months. You are caring for a group that sometimes has as many as seven infants. When the licensing consultant visits the center, the director tells the consultant that the cook is a teacher who works regularly in the classroom.
