The Child / Adult ratio as described above is based on the age of more than half the children in the group. The larger number indicating the child / Adult ratio for ages 2 through 5 years are the ratios for groups where more than half of the children are a year or more older than specified age group. The recommended ratios are minimum standards. The Instructor(s) need to use common sense when planning a course. Some activities by their very nature require closer supervision to ensure student safety (Examples: Science Labs, Sports, Outside activities).
