 I have been on the hunt for help paying for child care for months now, we dont qualify for families first or anything else DHS has to offer, i am starting nursing school april 27th i have always stayed home with my boys well now i cant and my husbands income which is good wont cover childcare we have 3 little boys and daycare is 200 a week.  school is paid for which is great and i hate to ask for more but how am i suppose to go to school if i dont have child care? i have been searching everything and cant find any help even tried student loans but apparently child care isnt an expense.  i live in Tennessee and am now considering getting the hell outta this helpless state. they want you to go to school and work ect but when you try there isnt any help.  if anyone has any advice im open to all! Lord knows ive tried everything i can come up with

wait till kids are in school that is what i have to do.

find someone to watch your kids... doesnt have to be an actual daycare.

[AngelEyesCox]

not an option im not waiting, my oldest will start K in august and my mid will start preschool too i just need to get through the summer

 i am waiting untill kids are in school too.

But maybe try family or friends? Local day cares, find a cheap one.

[AngelEyesCox]

 either way you have to pay them, and people are just as expensive as daycare around here.  i would ask family but there isnt any, his family is 2 states away what little family i have is not reliable

 maybe look into a school that offers daycare? If i was in your shoes, i would have already considered that before enrolling.

[allurasmamma]

 Well, if there is no one to watch the kids, and no money to pay for it, then you are going to have to wait. Thats all.
