Where this record comes from
Licensing in Virginia is administered by the Department of Education, Office of Child Care Health and Safety under 8VAC20-780, but the state publishes no per-facility roster of licensed providers. The providers listed here were found by searching Google Maps city by city, and every record shown is that provider's public Google Business Profile. Verify licensing directly with the provider before enrolling.
