# Classrooms

Choose Classrooms from your list of Work Areas and assign a child to teacher ratio as well as the maximum number of children per class. [Embedded content](https://www.youtube.com/embed/PXew2dSnnjQ)

## Before You Begin

Be sure to set up the names of your [Work Areas](/procare-desktop/docs/work-areas) first since *Classrooms* are selected from the list of available *Work Areas.* If you wish to change the name of an existing classroom, you must do it in *Work Areas.*

## Getting There

1. From the Procare Home screen click *Configuration > System.*
2. Go to *Data Management > Scheduling >* dbl-click *Classrooms.*  

**Note:** If you have multiple locations you’ll set up classrooms for each one. To change locations click once on *Classrooms* (to select it) then click *Change School* and choose a location. With the appropriate location selected dbl-click *Classrooms.*

## Set Up Classrooms, Size, Ratios

1. Click the top (blank) line then:  

a. Choose a *Classroom Name* from the list of *Work Areas* you previously created.  

b. **Optional:** Enter an *In Time* and *Out Time* to be used as the default times for child schedules. Of course you may make changes for individual children as needed.

c. Optional: Enter the *Ratio* (number of children allowed per teacher) and the *Maximum* number of children for that classroom.Click the top (blank) line then: **Example:** If one teacher may supervise up to eight children enter the *Ratio* as 8.00 (this is an 8 to 1 ratio sometimes noted as 1:8 by your state licensing authority). If you have just one teacher in the class the *Maximum* would also be 8, but if you have two teachers you could double that up to a max. of 16. d. Click *Save* or tap *Enter* (on your keyboard) to get a new line where you may add more classrooms.

1. Use the *Up & Down* arrows to change their order as needed then click *Save > Exit.*

## Your Next Step

Assign Classrooms to each child on their [Information & Relationships](/procare-desktop/docs/child-information-relationships) screen.
