Annual Updates to Children’s Records
As we start the new year, the VDOE is reminding licensed family day homes and licensed child day centers that at least annually, parents should confirm that the required information in their child’s record is up-to-date. This helps ensure that you have current health information and points of contact in the event of an emergency. Details can be found in 8VAC20-800-780 B for family day homes and 8VAC20-780-420-E 3 B for child day centers.
