MISSOURI – Some foster parents and low-income families are struggling to find daycare providers.
The issue, according to parents and providers, is that some of these daycares are not receiving the money they are supposed to get from the state of Missouri.
That money comes in the form of subsidy payments from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE).
OzarksFirst reached out to DESE and they acknowledged there is a problem.
“It’s already at a place where providers are stopping accepting state-paid children and turning them away,” said foster parent Mandy Bunch.
