What is the adult-child ratio and are the staff members the same each week?
There is a very high adult-child ratio. For example, in a group of six mother-child pairs, there is a group leader, a child development specialist and three or four externs. The leader of the parents’ discussion group continues with the group for its duration, as does the child development specialist who supervises the children’s play and the externs. (The externs are mostly graduate students in psychology or child development programs.
