Another ridiculous mandate put on childcare providers but no funds to cover it. And with it there will need to be training for it that will also have to be the responsibility of the centers, even though we already have CPR and MAT certifications. Virginia Department of Education wants affordable, quality childcare for its residents but with all the regulations and mandates we are being forced to follow we have to raise our rates to cover the additional expenses.
