APPLICATION FEES; REGULATIONS AND SCHEDULES; USE OF FEES; CERTAIN FACILITIES,
CENTERS AND AGENCIES EXEMPT (§ 22.1-289.010)

The Board is authorized to adopt regulations and schedules for fees to be
charged for processing applications for licenses to operate child day programs
and family day systems. Such schedules shall specify minimum and maximum fees
and, where appropriate, gradations based on the capacity of such facilities,
centers, and agencies. Fees shall be used for the development and delivery of
training for operators and staff of child day programs and family day systems.
Fees shall be expended for this purpose within two fiscal years following the
fiscal year in which they are collected. These fees shall not be applicable to
facilities, centers, or agencies operated by federal entities.
		The Board shall develop training programs for operators and staffs of licensed
child day programs. Such programs shall include formal and informal training
offered by institutions of higher education, state and national associations
representing child care professionals, local and regional early childhood
educational organizations, state agencies and other trainers designated by the
Board, and licensed child care providers. Training provided to operators and
staffs of licensed child day programs shall include training and information
regarding shaken baby syndrome, its effects, and resources for help and support
for caretakers. To the maximum extent possible, the Board shall ensure that all
provider interests are represented and that no single approach to training shall
be given preference.
