The structural rating also includes District of Columbia's licensing baseline — what every licensed daycare in the state must meet. District of Columbia caps infant ratios at 1:4, toddler ratios at 1:4, and preschool ratios at 1:10. Lead teachers must hold a Child Development Associate (CDA). Teachers must complete 21 hours of annual training.
