ChildCare Commitment: Testimonials

Our ChildCare Commitment program helps Michigan's disadvantaged children and families. Read what a few of program's members had to say.

"I am a single mother of a two-year old son.  I do not qualify for any type of assistance. I do not receive any child support and everything, (food, rent, bills, childcare, clothing, etc.) must be paid out of my income.  This award is a gift from God.  I appreciate all of your help."

"...with your help, I can keep my job and keep my daughter in school where I know she is safe and well taken care of and is learning a great deal."

"Since receiving ChildCare Commitment assistance, I’ve been able to receive better childcare for my daughter.  This program has been a blessing to my family."

"I have been able to enroll my daughter in a quality program, where she can begin early learning and readiness for kindergarten and forward."

"I am very thankful for ChildCare Commitment.  It has allowed my daughter to be in a learning and loving childcare center."

"I am able to keep my son in a very educational setting and not have to worry about his safety or well being."

"ChildCare Commitment has enabled my son to get a better education while attending the daycare/school.  Not only has he learned to count, spell his name and he no longer needs speech therapy!"

"I finished school and could not have if I didn’t have this award.  My daughter Emily is at a great daycare facility and it has given my husband and I a better sense of security for our child and our financial outlook."

"This has been a wonderful experience for myself and my son.  There are not words to explain how helpful ChildCare Commitment has been for us.  I feel that ChildCare Commitment allows my son to go to a wonderful learning, caring and stable environment.  I don’t know what I would have done without the help."

"With this program, it helps single mothers when the state does not and it puts you more at ease knowing your child is in a stable environment.   For me, I am lucky when this program comes close to the end, my daughter will go into kindergarten.  Thanks so much!"

 

"This award has been such a blessing!  There are no words to describe how helpful this grant money has been to me, my son and our home.  I was able to afford simple items such as food and clothing with the help of the award money."

"Appreciated the help and not worrying about who will care for my child and being able to place my son in a safe facility and environment."

"My child has been able to learn what school age children should.  Also, she has been exposed to trips and group activities."

"My daughter was able to be in a stable childcare setting, the setting provided her with preschool education and activities and she was able to spend time with children her age."

"I was able to put my child in a safe, clean and stable environment.  I was able to be at ease while my child was at school."

"I was able to work full time with the ease of knowing my son was taken care of."
