"I oppose the elimination of the exemptions § 63.2-1715 of the Code of Virginia. Eliminating these exemptions would eliminate businesses that allow child-minding services 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).

This will hurt small businesses who have great programs for children and their development. Our after school program is highly recomended by parents and prefered over school and state regulated care facilities.
