Just when you thought, zoning was the only concern, here
comes something else. More changes. The zoning thing still hasn't been worked out
as of yet. There has been me, Nbc4, Washington Post, and
other blogs that have written about this issue.

More Possible Changes For Licensed Home Daycare Providers
Tuesday, July 17, 2012
1st Zoning Meeting (July 16th)
Yesterday's meeting was full to capacity. There were so many licensed home daycare providers, that they didn't even have enough seats. To be honest, the place was a mess, it was full of confusion, and to be frank pissed off providers. The interesting thing is zoning has been a part of the law for a long time, (according to the zoning rep). But, the state never enforced us to go through zoning until NOW. The thing that is crazy is not only do we have to go through a long and strenuous process with zoning, but the state has changed all of their renewal paperwork as well. So, think of it this way, its like we are required to submit the same paperwork as those trying to open a center.

Zoning...
There will be a total of 3 different meetings that will be taking place. One is on July 16th, August 22, and the other one (the Town Hall Meeting) is on July 23rd. We are supposed to be learning about how extensive the new forms for zoning will be, and how much more it will cost us for the permit. So, far I've heard that you have to take pictures of the outside of your home, and that they want to make sure that there is sufficient parking, so you don't disturb your neighbors. I also heard that the packet is about 31 pages long. So, it will be great to know for sure what there is to expect. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to these meetings, to know what's what!

UPDATED~Town Hall Meeting
Dear Child Care Provider:
In the recent
months, several changes have been implemented and discussed regarding
child care permitting and regulating. In response, Supervisor Herrity is
hosting a town hall meeting to
discuss these proposals and to hear your feedback. These issues include
new licensing requirements handed down by the Virginia Department of
Social Services as well as new regulations being created by Fairfax
County. These issues will affect both state and
county licensed child care providers.
