I wasn't up to 48k/year before 3K, but same. With 3K we pay for extended care to cover the entire work day and also DOE holidays. The daycare my kids go to received 1000s of applications this year for 3K. There's only space for something like 10 kids, with priority to applicants who are already students at the center.

My grandparents used to live on Bayard, a little in from Mott. I used to visit almost every weekend as a kid, then every few weeks as an adult, so this street is very familiar to me (though I don't recall specific details anymore). Brings back memories.
