Children that are newborn to one year are infants. Needless to say they have unique needs and requirements. Some care providers maintain a somewhat higher rate for infants. Children that are age 12 months old to 2 and a half years are toddlers. Pre-school children are 2 ½ years old to kindergarten age (4 or 5 years old). Your local authority will stipulate how many children are allowed per care provider and the amount of space required per child in a care facility. Parents have the right to know how many children are in the care providers’ care at any given time and how old they are so be sure to check with your local authority as these rules vary by area.
