Before ratio monitoring can show you useful data, you need to create classroom records that reflect how your center is organized. Each classroom gets its own roster, ratio display, and daily log.
How to Create a Classroom
- Go to Ratio Monitoring in the left navigation menu.
- Click Add Classroom.
- Enter a classroom name (for example, Bluebird Room or Infant A).
- Select the center this classroom belongs to.
- Choose the primary age group (Infant, Young Toddler, Toddler, Preschool, Pre-K, School-Age).
- Enter the licensed capacity for the classroom.
- Click Save.
Classroom Fields
- Classroom Name — the name displayed on dashboards and reports.
- Center — which location this classroom belongs to.
- Age Group — determines the required staff-to-child ratio.
- Licensed Capacity — the maximum number of children allowed in the space.
- Notes — optional context about the room.
After saving, your new classroom appears in the Ratio Monitoring dashboard with a ratio status of Not Configured until you add children and staff.
