The state’s rule

Washington sets the most children one adult may care for by age, and the largest group size, in WAC 110-300-0356(5).

Infants (birth through 11 months): one adult for every four.

Toddlers (12 through 29 months): one adult for every seven.

Preschoolers (30 months through 6 years, not in kindergarten): one adult for every ten.

School-age children: one adult for every fifteen.

What to know

License: 12 months to 12 years (state). They serve: Children one year and older through kindergarten; before/after school through age 10 (their website).

The license is the range the state allows. It does not say which ages have openings.

Large means the biggest quarter of Seattle-area’s 855 licensed centers by state-licensed capacity: 116 to 323 children. Small is 6 to 40; medium is 41 to 115.

The ages on the license are what the state licenses it to care for, which can be wider than the ages it takes.
