Chapter Review Date 03/27/2024

Yes. More than one group of children may occupy a room, provided the following conditions are met:(1) The room is divided so that groups are separated. For example, a group of 25 children and another group of 10 children may be cared for in the same room if the placement of shelves, accordion doors, low movable walls, or symbolic boundaries divide the area so that children in one group do not freely mix with children in another group;(2) Groups may move from one activity area to another within the room during the day, but individual children may not freely mingle between groups; and(3) The total number of children must not routinely exceed the room capacity based on activity space.
