Affordable childcare options in Madison - 4 months and counting

I have 11 kids and I need to interview and work without a sitter. There are 11 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I looked into subsidies but the forms are long. Is there an emergency option?

I swapped afternoons with another parent. It took some planning and saved us both money.

Our county's childcare assistance took about 20 weeks to approve, but it covered most of the cost.
