for our rooms, we have the following capacities: 0-11 mo: 4 1s: 8 2s: 8 3s: 10 4s: 12 5s: 12 Kinder - 2nd: 12 3rd - 6th: 8 for us, it depends on the size of the classroom and how many kids can reasonably be in the room at one time. I've always asked for feedback from my team if there are too many kids and these are the numbers I've found to work well for us!

one year I did some "most likely to" awards and it was a hit! I had a lot of fun with it, and it got to show people other's quirks!

Hey Molly! Our church has about 150 members, roughly ~200 adults on a Sunday morning. A normal Sunday for us looks like 50-60 kids! Right now we have 7 classrooms broken down like so: 0-11mo (max 6) 1s (max 8) 2s (max 8) 3s (max 10) 4s (max 10) 5s (max 12) 6s-11s (Elementary ages) (max 12) We have 1 service that runs about 85-90 minutes. For each service, I have 2 team members in each classroom, 1 coordinator who runs the service, and at least 2 in check-in. We have 2 junior volunteers who serve as well, but I don't count them towards our adult ratios. Our team serves on a 3 week rotation - serving 1 week then 2 weeks off. We've had this structure for about a year now and it's worked really well for us. Our people get to sit in service more, which is a win! Sometimes this means closing classrooms and combining ages, but it's worth it to us. When one team member can't serve, I ask if they can serve on another week during that month!

@Olivia Nabb I grew up in Mansfield! Small world :)

@Kiera Spilman Congratulations! When I got married, my first Sunday back from my honeymoon was Easter Sunday - I don't know what I was thinking!!
