I am Maria Posey, chair of the child care issue group from the League of Women Voters. We oppose House Bill 408 as written as it endangers the financial stability of child care providers by altering reimbursement methods based on child absences. While we fully support the establishment of an enrollment-based payment system, we do not support this system to revert back to attendance-based in the event a child is absent more than 10 days in a month. Any payment tied to attendance penalizes providers for circumstances beyond their control, such as a child's illness or family emergencies, potentially leading to significant financial losses. This is why we see many providers opting not to participate in the child care subsidy program.  Without a guaranteed source of income per slot irrespective of a child's attendance, providers will continue struggling to sustain their operations and will be incentivized to expel students who are absent for 10 days rather than risk that their reimbursements for the slot are cut back in case there are further absences. In this event, it is the child who suffers due to circumstances outside their control. This bill undermines efforts to sustain a robust, accessible child care system for all children. We recommend that it be revised to remove the clause about reverting back based on absences.

I'm Maria Posey, chair of the child care issue group for the League of Women Voters Virginia. On behalf of the League, I strongly support House Bill 419. This bill aligns with the findings of our recent study and proposes to strengthen the funding formula and maintain educator incentives - both of which are critical to improving the quality and accessibility of child care in the Commonwealth. Our 2022 study built on existing research and highlighted critical shortages in quality child care, especially for children aged 0-6. Only 57% of demand for child care in Virginia is being met in the current system. That's nearly half of Virginia's children not getting access to the care their families need. This bill would ensure that much-needed funds would be allocated towards child care and, once allocated would not never revert back to the general fund. As a mom of three spending over $35,000/year on child care, and chair of the child care issue group for the League of Women Voters, I urge your support for House Bill 419, a pivotal step towards securing a brighter future for Virginia’s children and families.

I support HB408 in that providers, including schools, not providing actual services should not be paid taxpayer funds for all days services are not provided (within reason, like for periodic short-term illnesses, death in family, doctor's appointments, etc. etc.) providers especially should not receive funding when services are not provided such as times when a child is 'kicked out' of a program due to manifestations of disabilities, like Autism behaviors, Mental Illnesses and the like.
