Child Care Information Services of Centre County

This place is ridiculous! You receive absolutely NO help from the staff & if you are working with the Centre County Child Development Center your in an even worse spot! They expect you to "know" items that they need continuously without them asking for anything. Your income verification is asked to be collected & turned in every few weeks, which is time consuming when you are trying to work and have children. They embarrass you constantly by asking that your employer fill out a form showing that you receive financial assistance, even when NO CHANGES to your income have occurred. Your employers are busy & don’t want to be bugged about forms every few weeks. I am an educated (bachelors degree) single mom (not by choice), trying desperately to find full time employment, unfortunately I can not find a job that only run the hours my children are in school and I have not been making enough to put food in the table, let alone pay for child care. This is a temporary fix for me until I am able to land full time employment. These people have made is so very difficult and embarrassing that I am considering moving out of the area and closer to family for support with the children, even though the chance of getting full time are extremely limited. Agencies like these are supposed to be there to help, not hinder your chances of finding employment, in tough times. You spend more time filling out forms and trying to figure out WHY they cut you from eligibility AGAIN for no reason, then searching for employment. Good luck working with them!!!
