Title: ChildCareVA, Child Care VA | Home Child Care VA

URL: https://www.childcare.virginia.gov/

Description: The web site, www.childcareva.com, provides easy-to-find child care information and materials created specifically for parents, providers and the general public. The site serves as the online hub for the Virginia Department of Social Services in its effort to promote the importance of health and safety standards, as well as the benefits of quality child care in Virginia. The website is part of a package of reforms passed in 2015 to help Virginia families make informed decisions on child care. The reforms also included legislation requiring care providers to be licensed by the state to keep five or more children who aren’t related to them in their homes. Local governments are now required to report to VDSS the contact information for any child care providers and family day homes that are issued a business license. And state law now requires unlicensed family day homes to notify parents of that fact up front and in writing. On the website, parents will find information on various child care options, requirements and benefits of licensed providers, as well as guidance for researching and selecting quality child care. Current and prospective providers can learn how to become licensed and/or trained, review relevant legislation, and obtain professional development information and materials.

Title: Office of Children's Services

URL: https://www.csa.virginia.gov/

Description: WHAT IS CSA? The Children's Services Act (CSA) is now the name for a law enacted in 1993 that establishes a single state pool of funds to purchase services for at- risk youth and their families. The state funds, combined with local community funds, are managed by local inter-agency teams who plan and oversee services to youth. Mission Statement The mission of the CSA is to create a collaborative system of services and funding that is child-centered, family-focused and community-based when addressing the strengths and needs of troubled and at-risk youth and their families in the Commonwealth. Administration of the CSA The State Executive Council (SEC) is the supervisory body responsible for the establishment of programmatic and fiscal policies that support the purposes of the CSA. The Office of Children's Services (OCS) is the administrative entity responsible for implementation of the decisions of the SEC. Vision Statement OCS envisions CSA as a national model in providing effective and innovative systems of care statewide for at-risk youth and families. We strive for CSA to be highly regarded as a leader in: improving outcomes for children and their families; facilitating the highest quality technical assistance and training to strengthen the capacity of communities to implement CSA; maintaining high standards for sound fiscal accountability and responsible use of taxpayer funds; and partnering with families and all CSA stakeholders to implement best practices and technology to continually improve the performance of CSA. OCS strives to maintain an enthusiastic, creative and knowledgeable staff empowered to work with CSA stakeholders to sustain the highest quality system of care for Virginia’s youth and their families. Effective July 1, 2015 the Office of the Comprehensive Services Act (CSA) became the Office of Children’s Services implementing the Children’s Services Act". old url - http://www.csa.state.va.us/
