Affordable childcare options in Omaha - any advice?

My hours will change when I find a job and childcare is my biggest worry. I am in Omaha, in case local advice matters. A neighbour offered help but not every day. What worked for you?

Our county's childcare assistance took about 19 weeks to approve, but it covered most of the cost.

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