[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington County has higher standards for licensed in-home providers compared to the state. [/quote]

well- yes and no.   Arlington County regulates all providers, so you need a license to provide child care for just 1 child in your care.   That is different from the State that only requires a license if it is more than 5? I think.  But having been to many of these small providers- care for 1-3 children type places, and to some of the in-homes regulated by the state-- the state standards are much much higher.   The state expects outdoor play space, meaningful interaction, etc.   Whereas you can be licensed as a child care provider in Arlington county-- and keep 1-2 children in your living room of your tiny apartment with the blinds drawn and the tv on all day.

Arlington Co has a lower ratio requirement than the state of Va. For example, the county has a 1 to 3 ratio for infants as opposed to a 1 to 4 ratio the state  has.[/quote]
