    Ours go to a daycare/school from 7:30-12:30 with breakfast and lunch provided, then I bring them home for naptime so I can work in parts throughout the day. I can no longer afford daycare because the money for work is not coming in. Are there any resources for regular moms to pay for childcare services alone? We are holding our heads above ground on everything else(which is more than I can say for many others) but we may have to take the girls out of school altogether if I don't come up with something.

    I know there is usually daycare assistance available through the state if your income qualifies. You could apply for that, but they can only go if you are in school or working.. it sounds like you work from home, so Im not sure how they would verify that you are working during the time they would be in daycare.
    If you dont qualify through Social Services, I think there is something like a Parenting Council.. Im not sure if every state has it, but its worth looking into.
    Goodluck.

    If you are a member of a church and they have a daycare/preschool, sometimes they will a scholarship. I know some of the private schools around here have scholarships. Most of these schools have preschool and some even have daycare.

    Honestly, this is why I don't work and can't go to school at the moment. I can't afford daycare or preschool. I have to be home. We make too much to qualify for subsidized care but not enough to pay for it either. Somedays, it's really hard to be "middle class."
