Maybe you've already got this covered, but just in case ...
When I was pinched for $$ I kept a log of all expected income, and where I planned for that income to go. I think it helped me to see that I would be making progress, and kept me on track. I would do without rather than not meet my goals.
I also cheered if any child care parents were late or paid late, because that meant I got a few extra $$ to put toward bills

Also, I don't remember how you eat or feed your child care children, but there is plenty to be saved by cooking dry beans in a variety of ways. You can serve nutritious food economically, though maybe with a bit less variety, by using the less expensive fruits and veggies. Eggs are an economical protein choice also.
If you have co-ops in your area, they often have less expensive bulk beans, rice and other dry goods than you'll find in a typical grocery store.
