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, model forms and training links can be found on the website childcareva.com. Free training for first aid and CPR was forwarded to the provider to enroll in a class before her certification expires in May.
