[quote=Anonymous]I apologize in advance if this has been discussed before, but it was new to me.  When I dropped my son off today, our beloved home daycare provider told me that there is currently a proposal with Fairfax County that may force home daycares to care for a maximum of 7 children (currently the limit is set at 12).  The issue is apparently the discrepancy between what the state allows (12) vs. what the county allows (7).  The alternative currently under discussion will allow providers to keep the limit at 12 children, but force them to go through a complex and costly county review.  Our provider told us the next voting round is scheduled in May.

Have you heard about this?

Here is the  Washington Post article http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2013-01-15/local/36385787_1_day-cares-providers-shortage-of-child-care

Our provider thinks it may have something do with lobbying efforts of corporate daycare providers who have seen their business shrink as the home daycares flourished.  [/quote]
