DATE: September 2, 2026
TO: Child Care Providers
FROM: WV Division of Early Care and Education

SUBJECT: Billable days August and September 2026

The purpose of this memo is to inform all West Virginia Child Care Providers of the number of billable days for August and September 2026.

The Division of Early Care and Education sets the billable days based upon the number of possible work days in each month. The child(ren) must have attended the site at least one full day during the month to be eligible for the full billable days' payment. If children attend more than the set number of billable days, actual days of attendance may be billed. If a child attends two different providers during the month, actual days of attendance must be billed. Effective August 1, 2026 and in accordance with West Virginia House Bill 4191, a full day is defined as follows:

- For children under the age of five - a full day is defined as four or more hours of care provided within a single calendar day.
- For children aged five and up who are enrolled in school - a full day is defined as two and one half hours of attendance within a single calendar day.
- School age children who do not meet the two and one half hours of attendance will be paid by attendance.
- Three year old and four year old children enrolled in Public Collaborative PreK programs located in public schools, Head Start programs and Collaborative Child Care settings must meet the two and one half hours within a single calendar day standard.

Providers shall not deny access to care to any child for whom they receive
payment.

Billable days for the upcoming months:

August 2026 - 21 days, Noted Holidays - None

September 2026 - 22 days, Noted Holidays - September 7, 2026 Labor Day

*A note about closures, if your parent has to use a backup provider on allowable closure days, you cannot be paid for that day as it is not permissible to pay two child care providers for the same time period for the same child.

🌟 OFFICE SPOTLIGHT: Lewisburg/Ronceverte Office 🌟

This week, we're shining the spotlight on the amazing team at our Lewisburg/Ronceverte Office! ❀️ Their dedicated staff serves families across multiple programs, including Child Care, Birth to Three, and Medicaid Waiver services, helping strengthen communities throughout the region every day.

What makes this team special? Their experience, teamwork, and sense of family. With a combined wealth of service ranging from new team members to employees with more than 20 years of dedication, they embody what it means to build lasting relationships and make a difference. Their office is full of unique personalities, from award-winning singers and talented photographers to hardworking farmers who care for chickens, sheep, pigs, goats, and cattle when they're not serving clients. πŸπŸ“ΈπŸŽ€

The Lewisburg/Ronceverte team believes that great workplaces are built on connection. Whether they're sharing lunches, enjoying favorite beverages, celebrating milestones, or gathering for festive holiday traditions, they know how to create a welcoming and supportive environment. Christmas is a particular favorite, with holiday games, decorations, and plenty of laughter bringing the team together each year. πŸŽ„βœ¨

Community service is also at the heart of what they do. Most recently, the team played an important role in MountainHeart's agency-wide food drive, helping collect and distribute food to local pantries and blessing boxes across four counties. 🍎πŸ₯«β€οΈ

In their own words, they're more than coworkers. They're each other's support system, encouragement, comic relief, and trusted friends. Together, they create a workplace where collaboration thrives and where serving others remains the top priority.

Thank you to the entire Lewisburg/Ronceverte Office team for your dedication, compassion, and commitment to MountainHeart's mission. We are proud to have you as part of the MountainHeart family! β€οΈπŸ”οΈ

Child care providers classified as Tier II and Tier III within MountainHeart, Region 5, have recently received bonus checks in recognition of their commitment to providing high-quality care. These providers demonstrate their dedication to quality by meeting enhanced standards and qualifying for higher reimbursement rates.
