Affordable childcare options in Boston - 13 months and counting

My hours will change when I find a job and childcare is my biggest worry. There are 16 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I looked into subsidies but the forms are long. What worked for you?

Libraries and community centres run free activities that gave me a couple of hours.

Ask the school about after-school programmes. Some are free or based on income.
