• Physical Plant Licensing Requirements for Daycare Facilities

• Risk management / Liabilities to the Commonwealth

• Potential employee interest

• History of childcare services in state-managed space

• Federal Government childcare benefits practices

• Trends in Private Sector Organizations

• Impact of limiting this opportunity to employees at the Seat of Government
