If you live in the U.S., and you decided to go to a community college or a trade school, you can apply for FAFSA. It's a financial aid program and they can help you get money for college. I don't know if they will pay for child care because I have never been in that situation, but you can always ask at the community college close to you.

hi rebeccacarogers here in /California they have daycare for your kids at the junior colleges but I am not sure if its free or not b ut most of the grants you get for junior college will include the child care anyway so there should be no problem there.

I am not sure where you live at but your state office, social service office should be able to help you with childcare. They like to help students a lot. You should definitely check out what assistance your state you live in can give you.

Hi Rebecca, I think your ambition is good and beneficial to your society (country). Your country's welfare services may be better than in my own so I believe you can seek the assistance through your country's welfare services. I wish u all the best in your studies.
