Unlicensed and unregistered family day homes typically known as your family, friend or neighbor provide care in their home or the home of the child, and are limited to caring for no more than four nonresident children at any given time. The Virginia Department of Education does not inspect these programs and often times these programs are unknown to the Department.
If you suspect that a child day care program is operating illegally, you can file an Online Complaint form or call (833) 778-0204.
VDOE offers a variety of training, education, and resources to help providers earn the continuing education and training needed to be successful in the early childhood and school-age care workforce. Click here for more information.
