Written Consistent Care Plan
 

22VAC40-185-350. Staff-to-children ratio and group size requirements.: subsection F

I object to requiring centers to establish and maintain written policy to ensure consistent care in every class.  It is always a goal that we strive to maintain consistent staff in a classroom but staffing is difficult and to establish a written plan that wouldn’t be able to be followed would be irresponsible.  I believe that as long as the center is continuously providing safe and consistent care to the children that we should not have to comply with a written plan.
