5 stars for Jessica

I honestly thought this program would be so helpful to be but OMG I WAS WRONG!!!! I first applied back 2021 and got the run around JUST TO BE DENIED!! On there portal it says they accept : letter from employer/employment verification but that’s DEFINITELY NOT TRUE be cause it still wasn’t enough for them I got the job and the letter from my employer stating I’m a new hire, my pay per hour etc.. but ELC ONLY WANTS CHECKS STUBS basically and I feel like that’s what the portal should just of said that instead taking me thru all that!! Being a single mom with literally no family in the state of Florida it’s almost impossible to have someone watch my kid while I’m working! I was hoping and praying for the best BUT No. I enrolled in school online couple of years late (full time) but I guess it looked to them as if I was going to school part time online even tho the form showed full time so instead of denying me put me on the “wait list” and we all know what that means…im basically denied AND I KNOW THIS because I was on the school readiness plus(for people who didn't qualify before) WAIT-LIST FOR OVER 6 plus months (was told the wait list wasn't moving) then a year and after that then EVENTUALLY I just gave up. So if your working and have a check stub or two your probably good, living in a homeless shelter OR going thru career source welfare program(child support/cash assistance) your GOOD.

Gracias por ayudarme con el pago de la guardería de mi niño ,❤️

Without even pulling my application, I was given the wrong form the complete and advised to drive out to two schools to collect signatures and return. Come to find out, this is not a requirement for VPK, and yes I did specify I am there for a VPK re-enrollment application. They showed zero care or willingness to help, and instead sent me around chasing flies. Not to mention no-one, other than the receptionist, was in the office until 15 minutes after its opening time.

Pick up the phone!
