Affordable childcare options in Dallas - what worked for you?

I have 11 kids and I need to interview and work without a sitter. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I looked into subsidies but the forms are long. What worked for you?

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

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
