Technical Assistance:

~Water Lead Testing: If a licensed child day program wishes to be added to the VDH waitlist for the grant program, please contact leadtestingprogram@vdh.virginia.gov. Providers on the VDH grant program waitlist and those who are enrolled but have not yet completed testing, will be in compliance as long as they continue to participate in the VDH program and are following their plan. Enrolled programs should have evidence of enrollment and be able to demonstrate enrollment via the 120 Water portal. VDOE will confirm a program?s status on the waitlist to determine compliance. The waitlist is a courtesy and not a guarantee that a program will receive funding. Providers must take action to join the program when notified about the opportunity for enrollment. A provider may remain on the wait list for three months; however, if the provider has not enrolled in the grant program or if the grant program has reached capacity at the end of the three-month waiting period, the provider must continue to take action toward compliance by completing testing with another approved laboratory.
