Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The scenario fails to meet the registered child care regulations because it doesn’t follow the child care ratio of a licensed centre.

Step-by-step explanation:

One needs to be conscious while choosing a child care centre for their child. First of all, it needs to be licensed by the government and the other important aspect is that it follows the child-staff ratio strictly.

According to the guideline of child-staff ratio proposed by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, a group of ten children needs to be supervised by two teachers, group of five by each teacher.

Here in the above mentioned scenario, Joe is already in charge of ten children alone and he agreed to take care of two more, which is against the regulation.
