SUBJECT: Fingerprint Based Background Check Fees
The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) Office of Child Care Health and Safety
(OCCHS) recognizes that child care programs continue to face significant financial burdens
while serving children and families. VDOE is committed to supporting providers as we proceed down the path of returning to normalcy in the Commonwealth.
Fingerprint based background check fees
VDOE will continue to cover the cost of fingerprint based criminal history searches for
individuals in child day programs and family day systems who are required to be fingerprinted. VDOE will pay for fingerprint based criminal history searches obtained through FieldPrint through June 30, 2024.
Child care providers are encouraged to be proactive planning for future budgetary expenses.
