Story
The caregiver recently got placement of her young grandson and also has 3 other children currently residing in her home. She has been approved for ELC for daycare however she is needing assistance with the registration fees. This caregiver is the sole provider of the home and has no assistance with the children in her care. The children are not school-aged so the caregiver has had to take an extended period of time off from work and has fallen behind on bills. The caregiver is looking to increase her hours in order to catch up on bills and stabilize her and the children’s living situation. She needs to put the children in daycare but is struggling to come up with the money for the registration fees.
When the request is met, the children will be able to start daycare and the caregiver will have the ability to work more hours in order to maintain a stable environment for the children.
