I oppose the proposed change to eliminate all exemptions that allow child care to be offered in settings that would be unable to adhere to all licensing requirements, such as businesses providing drop-in care for children while adults utilize services on-site (i.e. churches, gyms, co-working spaces, etc).  These services are needed in our state to support healthy parents and families.  Increased occupational licensing requirements are detrimental for consumers!  The administrative and financial strain this will introduce will  limit healthy competition in the marketplace by driving out small businesses. Costs for these services will increase while quality declines- hurting the children these regulations were designed to protect most of all.  Please reconsider this action so these crucial services can continue to be available for Virginia families.
