WV HB2059

Transfers all childcare services from the Department of Human Services to the West Virginia State Board of Education, reclassifying them as "Early Childhood Education"

Establishes a three-tiered funding formula: 33% from reallocated Department of Human Services funds, 33% from employers (who receive a state tax credit), and 33% from parents/guardians or state scholarships based on enrollment rather than attendance

Allows Early Childhood Education Centers to operate off public school grounds, including in licensed home businesses registered with the Secretary of State

Exempts in-home daycares with six or fewer children enrolled from certification requirements

Assigns certification of providers and staff to the State Board of Education while local health departments handle inspections and food safety standards; transportation to public childcare services is not provided
