[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to do this but I can’t because I understand the foster system doesn’t pay for daycare. [/quote] Foster kids, at least in DC, are eligible for anything that's income based, so free lunch at school, Medicaid, subsidized daycare, early Head Start, free spot at DC Youth Orchestra etc . . . . Foster parent income is not included in the calculation, so they are considered to be at the very lowest income level. If a DC child is placed in MD, then the system pays for childcare. I don't know if DC kids get placed in VA. Some of the best daycares in the city take subsidy, but they often have long waiting lists. It might be worth getting on some waiting lists early in the process. [/quote]
