Mechanics

One of our fundamental principles and practices is that low student to caregiver ratios are important for the very best of care. The table below shows how serious we are about low student to caregiver ratios.

Program	Typical Imagine Learning Center Ratio	Typical Industrial Childcare Ratio	Regulatory Maximum (Legal) Ratio
1 Year Olds	5:1^*	6:1	6:1
2 Year Olds	12:2^* (6:1^*)	9:1	11:1
3-5 Year Olds	18:2* (9:1^*)	13:1	15:1

* Note: Our Director is also part of each classroom, which increases individualized care and lowers ratios even further.

We offer free Voluntary Pre-K.
