Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Actual capacity of Module 1 is currently 3 ratios of toddlers ages 24-36 months for a total of 21 toddlers. The current program (posted) capacity is 30. The original design for this room was 30 preschoolers, and the room opens directly onto the preschool playground. The toddler playground is on the other side of the building. There is a long waiting list for infants and toddlers and a short waiting list for preschoolers. However, you are having trouble with your budget numbers because the large numbers of infants and toddlers you are serving requires extra staffing. What can you do?
Using the scenario information, resources, and CDC floor plan, what is your best course of action?
Correct
Not quite! The best option is to change to 1 preschool and 1 toddler ratio on Side B and 1 preschool ratio on Side A
Incorrect
Excellent! The best option is to change to 1 preschool and 1 toddler ratio on Side B and 1 preschool ratio on Side A

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Actual capacity at the present time in the toddler Module 3 is 4 ratios of pre-toddlers ages 12-24 months, for a total of 20 pre-toddlers. The current program (posted) capacity is 32, and the original design for this room was 32 toddlers when the ratio for all toddlers (including pre-toddlers) was 1:7. However, the ratio for pre-toddlers ages 12-24 months is now 1:5. There is a long waiting list for infants and toddlers. However, you are having trouble with your budget numbers because the large number of infants and toddlers you are serving requires extra staffing.
Using the scenario information, resources, and CDC floor plan, what is your best course of action?
Correct
Good job. This is the best choice because it has an 18-month age span in each room of the module, it addresses the need for infant/toddler care, and it maximizes the spaces in the room using the current ratio and group size requirements. Even though there is enough space for another ratio, the maximum group size in a module is 2 groups of 2 ratios (total 4 ratios).
Incorrect
Sorry. The best course of action is to change to a pre-toddler/toddler room with 1 ratio of pre-toddlers and 1 ratio of toddlers on side A and side B. It has an 18-month age span in each room of the module, it addresses the need for infant/toddler care, and it maximizes the spaces in the room using the current ratio and group size requirements. Even though there is enough space for another ratio, the maximum group size in a module is 2 groups of 2 ratios (total 4 ratios).

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
The infant Module 4 has an actual capacity of 4 ratios of infants 6 weeks-12 months of age, for a total of 16 infants. The current program (posted) capacity is 20, and the original design for this room was 20 infants (many years ago when the ratio for infants was 1:5). There is a long waiting list for infants and toddlers. However, you are having trouble with your budget numbers because the large number of infants and toddlers you are serving requires extra staffing. Your center is the only one on the installation, but there is a viable Family Child Care program.
Using the scenario information, resources, and CDC floor plan, what is your best course of action?
Correct
Great! This solution meets the 18-month age span requirement on both sides of the module as well as the requirement to have full-day infant spaces.
Incorrect
Not really. The best solution is to change to an infant/pre-toddler configuration with 1 ratio of infants and 1 ratio of pre-toddlers on Side A and the same on Side B, for a total of 18 children. This solution meets the 18-month age span requirement on both sides of the module as well as the requirement to have full-day infant spaces.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Module 5 has an actual capacity of 3 ratios of kindergartners (36) before and after school. The current program (posted) capacity is 30, but this number has been posted since the building was built. There is a definite demand for before and after kindergarten spaces at your installation. You would like to leave this room as is because you are having trouble with your budget numbers since the large number of infants and toddlers you are serving requires extra staffing. This room is a real money-maker for the center.
Using the scenario information, resources, and CDC floor plan, what is your best course of action?
Correct
That’s right. The best option is to keep the before and after school kindergarten until the space has been measured to determine the maximum number of children that can be placed in this space.
Incorrect
Not exactly. The best option is to keep the before and after school kindergarten until the space has been measured to determine the maximum number of children that can be placed in this space.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Room 6C was originally part of an hourly-care suite of rooms. This room was designed to serve 2 ratios of preschool children, ages 3-5. At the present time, this room has been converted into a staff training/storage space because it is hard to find space to complete the required training. Preschool hourly care is currently being offered in Room 6B. However, the hourly-care spaces — especially those for toddlers and infants — are filled very quickly, and parents who need last-minute care have trouble getting in.
Using the scenario information, resources, and CDC floor plan, what is your best course of action?
Correct
Super! The best option is to use this space as a combination of preschool and toddler hourly care.
Incorrect
That’s not it. The best option is to use this space as a combination of preschool and toddler hourly care.
