Daisy Family Childcare received nearly $2 million in taxpayer funds, including $70,000 monthly installments, at a site where neighbors said children were never seen. This facility is part of a broader network of more than 20 Somali home daycares in the Seattle metro area that collectively received over $5 million in subsidies potentially misused through empty operations.

Washington state funds low-income childcare services but has recorded few fraud convictions amid a pattern of overpayments. On-site visits by the Post Millennial revealed unanswered doors and defensive responses from providers, though these observations do not establish that the providers committed fraud.
