Licensing Programs

The reports housed here provide an overview of how licensing programs protect the safety and well‑being of children, adults, and families across Virginia. They cover child care settings, residential programs for children, adult care facilities, background checks, and child protective services registry activity.

Child day care and family day facilities reports show how the state regulates licensed and registered care to ensure safe environments for children. They include centers, family day homes, short‑term programs, and other early care settings. Reporting for early childhood programs now falls under the Virginia Department of Education.

Child residential care reports summarize licensed group homes, child placing agencies, child caring institutions, and independent foster homes. These facilities provide full‑time care, guidance, and support for children and youth, including those transitioning to adulthood.

Reports on assisted living and adult day care facilities focus on safety and service standards for adults who need supervision, daily support, or non‑medical care. These settings help older adults and adults with disabilities maintain stability and access needed services.

Additional reports cover criminal background investigations and CPS Central Registry activity. These checks help ensure individuals working with children meet safety requirements and are not barred from contact due to past founded maltreatment. Together, these licensing reports show how oversight systems work to keep vulnerable populations safe.
