I have heard of it. The one thing I had heard is that they have a program they expect you to do with the kids and while that is great if you don't like lesson planning it would annoy others to be told what to do how and when so something to look into. Before signing with any agency find out what their fee to parents is and that may help determine how likely they are to attract parents that are not looking for subsidy since there is not enough subsidy money to go around - hence they wouldn't have very many kids to place in your home.
