More questions asked by providers:
i) Professional Qualifications Domain
(1) Do the training hours need to be on specific topics?
(2) Can first-aid and CPR be counted as part of the training hours?
(3) Can the directors provide the training hours?
(4) If the provider brings in an outside trainer, does the trainer have to have certain qualifications or being registered with CSC?
ii) Ratio / Group Size Domain
(1) When a classroom has a mixed age group, the youngest ratio prevails. Please clarify rather the youngest or oldest group size prevails.

1) The training needs to be related to how to implement a developmentally appropriate curriculum.
2)Not for curriculum
3)Yes, if they can document their qualifications to provide the training
4)The trainer must provide documentation showing what makes them qualified to provide the training.
ii.
If infants or toddlers are present in the mixed age group, the ratio for the youngest child present prevails.
In a preschool mixed age group, the ratio for the majority age group prevails.
In regards to the ratio/group size portion of the post, the provider understands youngest aged child ratio previals, they wanted to know if they same held true for group size. In a mixed age classroom, is the group size maimum, at any star level, determined by the youngest age, just as with the ratio?
It is my understanding that the youngest age in the group also determines group size. If anyone else did not interpret it this way we can discuss it at our next meeting.
