Technical Assistance:

Provided consultation on: 1. Standard 870: The family day home shall schedule snacks or meals so there is a period of no more than three hours between each meal or snack. 2. Discussed with the provider COVID-19 Phase III Guidance Update: The Virginia Department of Labor and Industry (DOLI) approved an Emergency Temporary Standard that requires staff in child care settings to wear cloth face coverings. While masks are not required for children in child care, the essential guidance issued by the Department of Social Services on 9/25/2020, based on CDC recommendations, strongly recommends that children 2 years of age and older wear a face covering. This is a best practice that will decrease the risk of COVID-19 transmission when children and caregivers are in close proximity. Programs that remain open are to adapt service settings to align with public health recommendations, which include social distancing and wearing face coverings. Review all information from Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS), Virginia Department of Health (VDH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding COVID-19 updates.
