so true on the scholarship thing. Look into it. Also, I'm sure your school won't kick dd out cuz she doesn't have tuition paid for the month. They will make payment arrangements w/you. Talk to them. And let your dd go back to school. Swallow your pride and let them know you are having a hard time this month. JMO, but I would rather let the school know I was having a hard time vs telling dd that she can't go to school and get her upset.

Hope things work out for the best for you.

Thanks to both of you. It is a rare, special type of pre-school. Offers solid academics, solid Christian values (church based), one block from home, and dd LOVES it. Staff has very low turn over rate. The two teachers have both been around at least 30 years- really. Will talk to them tomorrow morning, and will do it away from dd so her heart doesn't break. I am not kidding - she really, really, really loves school. -Joy

We went through something similar when our son was in pre-school, back in 2000. He loved it and we thought we were going to have to take him out. He was going to a church based pre-school and the tuition was $100 a month. This is not really high, but my husband's father passed away in March of that year and he had NO insurance. My MIL could not afford the burial, but made arrangements with the funeral home to pay it off on time. She developed severe depression and an alcohol and drug problem, was suicidal and such and never paid on it. They were going to take her to court over the money when my husband stepped in and guaranteed them that he would pay $400 a month on the bill until it was paid off. Instantly, we were put in financial distress!

I called the school to let them know what was going on and told them that we had no other choice but to cut out ALL un-necessary expenses until the debt was paid, in order to be able to afford it. I was on the phone crying with the headmaster and felt like a fool, but I owed it to them to be honest.

The next day, she called me early that morning and told me that she had spoken with the members of the church board and that they wanted Nash back in the class that day! She said that they had set him up on the scholarship and his fees would be paid for at least the next 18 months and more so if needed. I balled like a baby and could not thank them enough.

If your ex-husband has already sent them a certified letter stating that he will pay so much of the bill each month, then they know that you are giving it to them straight when you tell them the financial problem you are in. I doubt that they will make you take your daughter out once they know for sure what is going on.

Good luck and even though it is tough to swallow your pride and admit to others when you have a financial problem, tell them what is happening. They may be able to help more than you think.

I agree. As long as he is to pay it they are not going to make her leave. Also in Pennsylvania, there is an early headstart program, also there are grants that are given to the truely needy that would like to send their child to a private school. Also If you are receiving benefits from the state, which I believe you said you are, they will refer you to programs that help with (or cover completely) the cost of childrens education. Also, If you are truely sincere about wanting a job, the pennsylvania department of welfare allows you to do a job search for 60 days to better your situation, if you choose to further your education (but you may not choose to since you already have a degree) they will help you pay child care, transportation, clothing, fees charged at the school, and other misc things while attending. I know for a fact there are programs out there that pay for everything you could think of, quite a few of fellow students in nursing school received this help.
Also I highly doubt with DD's school being a Christian based center, they would do anything rash, since hubby sent a letter stating he would pay, they must know the situation.

If it's churched based, there should definitly be payment arrangements or scholarships. I can't see them kicking her out. I would also talk to dhs about having your ex's checks garnished so the payments DEFINITLY make it to you.

What happened to the ptr program that you were given? Is it not making any money?

My dd ended up going to a public school last year because we didn't think we could afford to send her to send her to the church based school that we sent her to for Pre-K. Well come to find out after she started public school they could have let her go there for what we could afford to pay. We just kept her in the public school for kindergarden but this year both her and my son go to that private school and they let us pay weekly or when we can. I had to talk to them about trying to make payments when I was off from work after my son was born in November. They are more than willing to work with you. It only cost us $22 a week for both my kids to go there because we are members of the church. That's much cheaper than daycare.

*************************************************
Correct, they know the situation. They are going to work with me. Yes, I happen to be on public assistance. I will ask my caseworker what help is available. I also have more than 60 days. I have what's called a waiver for good cause for both domestic violence and medical problems. I documented what I was saying, and have an extension of the normal time limits. As far as Early Head Start, dd is enrolled in it. It is not a classroom setting, but a home visit based program. Helped dd a lot, but she is about to transition out of it. She turns 3 4/05. Anyways, filled out papers for Head Start, etc, in past few weeks. It happens to have a long waiting list, and the quality of her education is strong where she is now. I will just continue to work hard to improve my situation, the old fashioned way.
Thanks for your help and reply.

Talking to DHS in the early AM, after take dd to school, and talking to them about how to straighten out my financial house with him. As far as the ptr I was given, nothing happened to it, literally. I sat on it on the backburner, because I believed I should straighten out a lot of my burning personal issues first, before taking on things like a ptr, which requires a solid daily committment. I did not want to be someone that started, and petered out a month later. I posted and thought I was going to run monthlycash.com.
Spent a lot more time than I expected sitting in courtrooms. And I mean a lot of time. It resulted in my ex finally getting off his butt to get his belongings, and got the ball rolling for other orders that are keeping me safe, and future hearings for support, etc. So it is not making any money because I elected to put it on hold for a while. I underestimated how big some of my problems were. I have been making progress. I lost weight, and my arthritis got better. Kept dd and I healthy through a hard time. Resolved a lot of my medical issues that were severe even a few weeks ago, through better meds, therapy, and old fashioned hard work. Also did a lot of research on proper PTR administration, hosting, etc. It should really be starting soon. Wasn't planning on being in and out of a women's shelter, and other things that happened to me. Thank you for your post, and help. -Joy

DD was put on a waiting list for a classroom based program called Head Start when I posted about the RAOK. She *will not* be 3 until April, and not even eligible to start until then, if there is room in the classroom. When I said about to be 3, I meant in a few months. It is common with a lot of these programs to enroll a child a few months ahead of time. DD's school is a private one, so tuition is assessed. Early Head Start is not a classroom based setting, but a home visit based one. It is true it costs me nothing, and is great. It is not a pre-school or a daycare, however. It is a home visitation program where they work with you on assessing your child's development, provide a few services like transportation to the doctors, referrals to other agencies, etc. So, yes, I posted correctly that she is enrolled in both of the above. She is sitting in Early Head Start until 3, and should be in a home based visitation program with Head Start, until there is room in the classroom.
Until that happens, she is sitting in the pre-school she is in now. Since this was posted, I worked hard and started to find ways to work out her staying in school.




I guess I'm just kind of curious why it's costing the OP for the school program for the early head start program....... because I could have sworn your daughter was in the Head Start program (based on this post and a few others prior to this one that I don't have time to locate right now)

:confused:


I live in Pennsylvania, I have afriend who has 4 children, her husband and her divorced, she received public assistance, she also had 3 of her 4 children
in the early head start program which lead them into being placed into the head start program. The home visitor you are speaking of, yes, that is true, it is they do have a home visitor, she has one for her 2 1/2 year old, her 3 1/2 year old is in Pre school, they come to her house and bus him to the school and everything, he has lunch ther too, he leaves at 10 am and gets home at 4 pm, it costs absolutely nothing to her, this is a state wide head start program. They have helped her with so many services, it is unbelievable, this organization/ program whatever you would like to call it is great. When you "qualify" for it, there are several other programs you are qualified for. No matter what your time limit is for the state assisstance they will still help you with all I listed in prior post. If you are truely interested in obtaining a gainful job, I would suggest you inquire about these programs. I do not know though if they will pay for another degree program if you already have a degree. In PA there is the also a program for people with disabilities to get a new profession and they will pay for your training. I am not sure the name of it exactly, but am definately sure, if you are recieving assistance they will refer you to it. AND if you are enrolled in the PA Career Link, you could get a referral to the WIAA program, of course this is a program based on your income. If you don't have income or minimum income, then these programs are there to help you. Each and every one of them will refer you to the other if they believe there is a need for it. Here in Pennsylvania, they really try to help you better your situation, I can't understand why they have not told you of all the other oppertunities out there available to people who are having financial hardship. These agencies work together.

Tina, I always thought headstart was free also but up home (Ohio) I had a girlfriend that wanted her boys in headstart but they made too much money so she had to pay a small fee for them to go. She definatly had the money for a private school, but she liked the headstart program and opted to place them there. It was a lot smaller fee then private school.

Joy, from what has been posted girl you need to be on that phone and apply away. If you are eligible for these programs, take advantage of them so that you and Faith can get out of the rut you feel you are in. Good Luck and God Bless.

I did read her post and found nothing rude about it. I wasn't trying to quote YOU specifically, I was trying to get both posts about it being rude in the quote but it didn't work out that way.

You complain about people posting rude comments but some of your comments could possibly be construed as rude as well.
This is a public message board and if you are going to post on here you have to expect comments that you may not like at times.

And like they say opinions are like you know what EVERYONE has one. If you don't like it then don't post.

Tina said nothing that was rude to latestdish, no one accused her of asking for money or anything.

Seems to me like everyone was just trying to make sure she was aware of all the programs that are out there for people in financial hardships, there are so many different programs it can be hard for everyone to know about all of them. People are just trying to help her.

You might also ask your dot's EHS teacher about programs through them for job training and assistance in finding a job.

I work for a district that operates all of the Early Head Start, Head Start, and ECEAP programs in most of Western Washington. We provide training and job assistance for our parents. I actually got my job this way. I started out as a parent in one of their programs as a volunteer and am now the person in charge of their scheduling making $15 an hour.

Good luck to you and your dot. Hopefully the waiting list won't be too long for Head Start.

You have to be receiving assisstance from the gov (foodstamps oor cash) to receive anyy programs I am talking about. If you are receiving these benefits please PM me and I will get you all the info. Where in PA do you live??
The more info you give me the more I can help you.
If you do not receive any public assistance but want to go on to school, there are all kinds of scholarships and grants available to you too. In PA as long as it is not a tech school ( Ithink) you can get grants through the state of PA.

ECEAP is the Early Child Education and Assistance Program. It is a Washington state funded preschool sort of like Head Start. I am not sure if other states offer the same type of schooling or not.

Good luck with everything. Your dot's family support worker should be able to assist you with any needs you have (such as schooling, housing, necessities, etc).

Joy,

Did you find anything out?? Keep us posted!!

I found out that there is a really, really good flexible full time day care/pre-school up the road from me that can watch dd if I go back to work soon. I say if because 1) I have to get a medical OK from a doctor first (long story, and subject of other vent/whines), but should have one soon. Found good medicines that actually work. Got into trouble with arthritis in the first place because they kept recalling half my medicines, which kept getting more expensive, and I stopped being able to afford them. Got on Medicaid, now fine. Still have arthritis, but in a lot less pain. Ditto with asthma. 2) Have to actually interview, get job, etc. Working on that now. Anyways, welfare will pay for it. Thank you for the tips. It helped a lot. If ex continually refuses to pay support, then they can garnish his wages. If he quits work like he threatened to, he can be ordered by a court to go back to pay support. If he still refuses to obey orders, he might be subject to other penalties. (fines, possible jail, etc.) Thank you. -Joy

So glad you are on the road to getting answers. I am sure they will help with daycare and other thing too if you wanted to continue your education. There are so many programs out there for people if they just have the right directions to get there. Please keep us updated!! I would like to know what is going on.

By the way, he can not only go to jail, but he can lose any type be it drivers or hunting or fishing license too. I believe there is a law now in PA that if a person man or woman does not pay child support and it is in the courts, that they can be denied any licensing through thte state. Now I am not positive and would have to look into it more, but I do remember hearing about it from my hubby, because one of his trucking buddies was facing this problem he needed to renew his license for job but state said he hadn't paid support in so long so until it was paid not license. I'll see what I can find out.
