WOODBRIDGE, Va. -- Many daycare providers simply aren’t familiar with state laws when it comes to their businesses, according to an expert.
On Monday night, the Prince William Crime Prevention Council held its monthly meeting at the McCoart Building in Woodbridge. Along with the council’s monthly updates on crime prevention, bullying awareness and the safety of Prince William County citizen’s, the board listened to Daycare Licensing Inspector Linda Reynolds talk about the difference between licensed and unlicensed daycare businesses in Northern Virginia.
Virginia state law allows for a home based child care provider to watch up to 5 children plus her own at any given time without a state license. Reynolds explained that parents and citizens need to understand the benefits and risks of using unlicensed caregivers. Unlicensed home based day cares are not required to carry any insurance, follow any nutritional or educational standards, or have any emergency training.
