TULSA, Okla. — An urgent meeting was held Tuesday night for families at Legacy Childhood Education in Broken Arrow as providers across Oklahoma brace for additional state child care funding cuts expected in April and July.
Mac McCrory, co-owner of Legacy Childhood Education, said the meeting is meant to help families understand the impact of cuts already enacted by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services and those still to come.
“[The] next meeting here at our Broken Arrow location is for our families, our parents, to go over the impacts of some of the cuts the DHS has already enacted as well as expected impacts from cuts that are yet to come in April and July,” McCrory said. “You know, we’ve been talking to you guys about it since late October. And the times kind of come to figure out how we’re going to navigate forward. Providers across the state are trying to figure out how to adjust these cuts just to keep their doors open.”…
