What a capacity of 189 means

Capacity is the most children the license allows at one time, not current enrollment or openings.

Pennsylvania sets its own staff-to-child ratios by age; licensing in Pennsylvania links to the state's rules.

On a tour, ask how many children are in each room and how many adults stay with them at nap time.
