Question re: preschool/daycare ratios

CatDawn7470

My son is in the two year old room. The ratio is 1:6. There are two teachers in the room as there are 8-14 students on a given day. Here's my question. When one of the teachers leaves the room, is a "floater" supposed to come in to cover? Or is there allotted time for her absence. Odd question, I know. I ask because I've come in when a teacher has stepped out to make lunches or call a parent, and it's been a little hectic in the room. Another parent asked me about it yesterday as she got there before me for pick-up, saw one teacher in the room and one warming lunches down the hall, and the kids not as organized. My concern is if someone gets hurt, needs help with the potty, etc. Thanks!!!
