22VAC40-185-350. Staff-to-children ratio and group size requirements
Group sizing is going to cause financial strain on businesses. Centers are going to have to choose between corraling the children in a restricted space and reconstructing classrooms or just cutting spaces out of classrooms completely which will also cause financial burden as centers will no longer be operating at capacity. This will most definitely force families to seek care from unlicensed unregulated sources.
