Affordable childcare options in St. Louis (St. Louis)

My hours will change when I find a job and childcare is my biggest worry. I looked into subsidies but the forms are long. What worked for you?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 13 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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