Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: The more children per caregiver, the less attention any one child can receive. Lower ratios give more assurance that each childs needs will be met.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Chronological-age groups are based on the premise that similar-age children have shared interests and capabilities and enjoy activities together. Mixed-age groups are based on the premise that they most resemble a family grouping with younger children learning and aided by older ones, with older children learning and displaying caring skills to younger ones.
