Technical Assistance:

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) assumed oversight of child care licensing and monitoring on July 1, 2021. All associated regulations and codes have transferred over from the Virginia Department of Social Services. Guidance, resources and training links can be found on the new website childcareva.com. The violations on the Violation Notice reflect the new VDOE codes and standards. As discussed the pack and play located in the kitchen area is used for play only and not sleep.
