What kind of daycare do u get when u are on assistance?

I signed up for assistance and started receiving money yesterday. Please don't judge, I am actually one of those people that actually needed this, it is definitely going to help turn things around for me and it took a lot of courage for me to even apply.

I haven't gotten a letter from them yet and if I tried asking a question while I was there the people acted aggravated I needed to even question anything, so not much more then money talk was told to me. But I said I plan on starting to work within the next month but nothing more then childcare will start immediately was what was explained to me.

Any one know what KIND of childcare you get? Like is a private home daycare okay or an actual daycare? Can you hire a babysitter? I thought my mom would be watching my kids but I had a falling out with her now she won't and I already spent a lot of cloth diapers, so it's gonna suck if I can't cloth diaper while in day care :-(

    NO judging going on here, 1st of all. I owned and operated a day care for many years and accepted the assistance checks. You can go to any day care that accepts your type of assistance. It is YOUR job to interview and visit the day care. Make sure your visits are unannounced, when you go. This will give you a true look into how they operate.

    I had to stop accepting the state assistance clients because they wouldn't pay their portion of the day care and I was spending too much time in court, suing them.

    Cloth diapers were NOT allowed in my day care (coz some folks are pigs and didn't wash them correctly) but that is up to each day care, weather they do or do not accept cloth diapers.
