Virginia lets a child day center run by a religious institution choose not to be licensed. A center that makes that choice files a yearly statement with the Virginia Department of Education and must tell parents in writing that it is exempt. A parent touring a church-run program can ask which route it has taken.

Yorktown shares its region with several cities that have their own pages here: Poquoson, Newport News, Hampton, Carrollton and Smithfield. Hampton is also a place one Yorktown business names in describing where it works, so families on the Peninsula who commute may want to read that page alongside this one.
