When the Administration for Children’s Services said in February that 16 day cares would be closing city-wide, no parents braced more than those in Brooklyn, were 11 of those closing day cares are located. The Daily News is reporting that parents of 100 children at two shuttering centers in the same Boerum Hill building are afraid they will have nowhere affordable to take their kids. They  have until July 1 to find adequate replacements. “I don’t make that much money, so now I don’t even know what to do,” Arelis De La Paz, told The Daily News. De La Paz is  23, a single mother and a cashier at McDonald’s. “If I can’t find affordable day care pretty soon, I’ll lose my job.”
