PARKS DIRECT allows you to be very precise with ages. The following chart converts months into decimals, which is useful for creating a section that uses months as an age requirement (for example: preschool goes from ages 3 years and 6 months to 5 years).

| Months | Decimal Value |
|---|---|
| 1 month | 0.09 |
| 2 months | 0.17 |
| 3 months | 0.25 |
| 4 months | 0.34 |
| 5 months | 0.42 |
| 6 months | 0.50 |
| 7 months | 0.59 |
| 8 months | 0.67 |
| 9 months | 0.75 |
| 10 months | 0.84 |
| 11 months | 0.92 |
Maximum age ranges should almost always end in .99.
Example: for a section that’s intended for 6 to 12-year-olds in PARKS DIRECT, the minimum and maximum ages are:
Min: 6.00 (6-year-olds)
Max: 12.99 (12-year-olds)
A 13-year-old is too old, but if the child is still 12, they can enroll with the maximum age set to 12.99 (any child before their thirteenth birthday).
