A full-time schedule means providing care and educational services for children throughout the majority of the workweek, often mirroring standard business hours (e.g., 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM or similar). This option is ideal for families seeking consistent, all-day care due to work or other commitments.

A part-time schedule offers more flexible options with reduced hours or fewer days per week (e.g., morning-only programs, three days a week). Part-time schedules are designed to accommodate families who need less frequent care or want their child to experience a structured environment without the full-day commitment.

A 12 to 1 teacher ratio means there is one teacher responsible for up to 12 children in the classroom. This ratio ensures that each child receives adequate attention and support while allowing for effective group activities and supervision. It balances the need for individualized care with the benefits of peer interaction in a group learning environment. This ratio is often aligned with state licensing requirements and best practices for maintaining a safe and nurturing preschool setting.
