The proposed changes would very negatively impact my life as a parent and someone who exclusively telecommutes for my job.  I utilize centers which benefit from this exemption on a daily basis.  Yesterday, I used this service twice.  At one point I had one child in a Fairfax County rec center nursery while I participated in a mommy-and-me class with my other child.  Later in the day I was at Play, Work, or Dash for the afternoon doing work and supporting my clients while the child minding services in the adjacent room entertained my children.  During the summer, my daughter loves attending a morning dance camp at a local ballet school.  All of these services would be unavailable to me without this exemption for these centers.  I choose to be able to stay home with my children and these exemptions allow us to have a full and varied life.  

I am a bookkeeper for small business and I can imagine that the additional compliance burden for complying with the requirements for a full day day care would not be an option for many of these not-for-profit and small businesses which offer this service.  I would imagine many would have to close.  This would be a great loss for the community.
