This is the complete wrong direction that childcare licensing regulations should be moving in. Parents DESPERATELY need more options for childcare that fit their unique lifestyles, especially in such a high cost environment like Virginia. Parents already DO NOT have enough options for childcare, and need more alternatives to typical licensed centers. This change would SERIOUSLY hurt the economy of Virginia, and drive not only business but families and potential residents out of the area because of its hostility to families. Families will organize and protest this change relentlessly. Even considering this type of change is a sign of complete and total ignorance of what families in this state are going through.
