Because of a bill pushed through the Legislature, subsidies for the daycare services and meals have not fallen to zero. But the centers are getting paid only 10 percent of their promised state funding.
Carolyn's is supposed to be paid $40,000 total from Pennsylvania for July and August but is receiving just $4,000, a shortfall of $36,000. The day care is receiving $120 for the $1,200 per week it's owed for meals – breakfast, lunch, dinner and two snacks. In the nine weeks for July and August, the center is out another $9,700.
How is this a private business? They get a ton of government money.
