Read your rooms' ratios
Each room shows the adults clocked in, the children checked in, and whether that is within ratio.
Where: Ratios
On the web, Ratios
- 1.
Open Ratios. Each room has a card.
- 2.
Read the word at the top of the card: Within ratio, One more child breaks ratio, or Out of ratio.
- 3.
Under it are the adults in the room against the adults needed for the children checked in. The line below says which age band sets the ratio, from the youngest child present.
- 4.
If a room is short, clock someone in to it or move a child, and the card updates.
Only staff clocked in to a room count for it, and only children checked in to that room.
Questions
- Why is a room out of ratio when the teacher is right there?
- They are not clocked in to that room. Clock in, or move their shift to the room.
- Where do the ratio numbers come from?
- The center's ratio table, set by a director in Settings.
- Does the page update by itself?
- Yes, as children check in and out and staff clock in and out.
