Requirements to become a foster parent
Many new parents are worried they'll be on their own if they decide to foster. That's not true; you have tons of support on your side.
You have the Iowa Department of Human Services (DHS). Your local DHS recruits and approves families for fostering and adoption. They also place children with approved parents.
The Iowa Foster & Adoptive Parents Association has handbooks, contact phone numbers, information on training and case plans, useful PDFs for foster parents, and more online.
You also have your local child-placing agency for assistance. They're licensed and approved to train parents and place children in homes. You can find information on how to navigate the legal system or tips for working with birth parents, for example.
Many state non-profits dedicate themselves to assisting foster youth and the families caring for them. They may help with basic care, such as clothing or food, or educate parents on specific topics.

It’s a fine daycare with mostly kind employees. However, if you’re a man planning to work here I suggest you look elsewhere. I worked for about a year here and the way I was treated was ridiculous.
I was scolded for high fiving a toddler while his mother was encouraging it. I was told not to let kids sit in my lap but they could sit in their laps. I was trying to get some kids’ attention running away on the playground and I was told I was yelling. I was the only guy there and I know why now.
Tl;dr: most of the teachers labeled me as a criminal and treated me as such
