I'm about half way through my first semester. I live in Alabama by the way; I know there are probably different programs for different states and so on. My son is one and i think he is just about ready for daycare. I think it would do him good to be able to play with other kids and "socialize" if you know what i mean. We just can't afford $100 a week or whatever it is running now a days. Thanks for your help.

Yes there is. I am from Alabama myself and also a home daycare provider. You can either go through DHR and see if you qualify through their program or you can go through Child Care Central if you have one in your area. Call your local Dept of human resources to see if they have either option. There is usually at least one of those options. Right now I have one child that will start in 2 weeks and her mom will go through our county DHR. They will pay at least $40 a week and you will have to pay the rest. They sometimes will go up to the full amount depending on income and how well you are doing in school and at work. I do think if you go through DHR you must be working part-time while going to school but I am not sure about that. I only charge $75 a week but the range in our area is $65-$95. Of course we live in a small town so I am sure the bigger areas range much higher. Good luck! If you need more help email me.

Talk to the Department of Human Services (DHS). They have a daycare assistance program here in OK. I'm sure they have something similar in Alabama. Good luck!

There's some colleges that have daycare inside the schools (daycares in colleges provide a place for education majors to observe/get experience in teaching/taking care of children) ask your college if they have a daycare program.

Most colleges have daycares on campus. Check with your school, or the student service office.
Another idea is to post a flier at your school for daycare swaps with other student moms. Perhaps you could find someone who has classes on the days you don't, and then it would be free.

Go to your county Department of Social Services. They have a program that pays daycare for mothers who work or are continuing their education.

When I went to college, I took my son to the campus day care and got on a program called Title XX.

Your college might have a daycare center. The would also know about county subsidies that are available.

Go to your local Medicaid office Ask if they have a program that helps working parents/school parents put their children in day care. That should help. In fla it is called YFA see if that helps. Karen
