Student Limit for Special Education Teachers The number of students an early childhood teacher works with is decided by the severity of the students' disability, the amount of time the teacher travels, and if the student is receiving services in another program or agency. The maximum number of students a teacher can have is also determined by the students' age. For example a teacher cannot have more than: 12 students between birth and two years; 16 students between three and six years; and 14 students between birth and six years. For early childhood special education classes, there must be a paraprofessional with a teacher. The maximum number of students a teacher and paraprofessional can have at once is eight. If there is an entire early childhood team in the class then there can be 16 students.
