For anyone calling any of this investing racist: Months ago I dug through the DCYF, WA Paycheck site and other Gov sites. It became quite clear to me that the largest payouts were going to Somolian home daycares with a max of 12 kids enrolled. The other large sums were going to commercial daycares with averages of 50+ kids. And all of those daycares were clearly legitimate daycares. So how are Somalian home daycares with 12 max capacity (and in many cases lower around 9) receiving the same amount as these large daycares? I know the state gave out specific grants to Somalian daycares specifically, but that totalled to around $1M. This doesn’t explain the large sums these “daycares” are getting on an ongoing monthly basis. Anyone calling this invitation “racist” clearly hasn’t done a lick of leg work to verify daycare payouts made by WA State. Period. Anyone who has looked at the actual data of payment histories to daycares can clearly see that the only daycares racking in high sums are high head count professional daycares/ early learning centers and then the multiple tiny Somalian ran home daycares. The questionable part of the data is WHY IS IT ALL SOMOLIANS? That’s not a racist question— that’s a legitimate question.
