Last week, Governor Laura Kelly announced that her administration is giving a total of $53 million to eligible child care staff at licensed facilities. The funds will be made available through Child Care Workforce Appreciation Bonuses that will soon be directly distributed to approximately 22,650 early childhood care staff members across Kansas. Individual bonus amounts will range from $750.00 to $2,500 per person.
Cindy Schiffelbein of the Baldwin Family Day Care Home in Baldwin City, says the bonus is great for child care providers and makes providers feel like they are being seen and appreciated and it will be a great help.
