1997 SESSION
SB 1137 Licensed child day center staff-to-child ratios.
Introduced by: Patricia S. Ticer | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Licensed child day center staff-to-child ratios. Provides that licensed child day centers shall employ staff personnel according to specific ratios of staff members to children. The ratio requirements do not apply to child day centers that are Montessori schools licensed under Part IX of Chapter 30 (22 VAC 15-30-680 et seq.) and Part IX of Chapter 40 (22 VAC 15-30-680 et seq.) of Title 22 of the Virginia Administrative Code, as in effect on December 1, 1996, for that portion of the day considered part of the instructional program, and to licensed child day centers exclusively serving children with disabilities. This bill codifies the existing regulations and is a response to the proposed regulations issued last fall by the Child Day Care Council which would have increased the staff-to-child ratios. These provisions shall expire on July 1, 1998. The sunset provision was placed on the bill because the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission (JLARC) is currently studying child care and will be making recommendations. JLARC will issue its study on child care in Virginia in late spring or early summer of 1997.
