22VAC40-185-350  Group Size Requirements   Table 1

I support the VCCA solution.  Due to the increasing demand of infant and toddler care, especially in densely populated areas, we object to limiting the group size if it reduces capacity/accessibility for licensed infant or toddler care.  Where this may be more easily planned prior to construction, it's difficult for many centers to conform now.  At the very least, we are asking for assurances that a variance may be granted for centers physically unable to meet this requirement and allow them to continue care for their current number of infants and toddlers in care.
