Home-based care — small
day-care businesses that are
run out of private homes — usu-
ally charge less than day-care
centers. But despite high de-
mand, many are struggling to
stay afloat. Del Rio said high
housing costs for these home-
based providers are driving
many out.
Boston has lost more than
half of its home-based family
child-care businesses since
2010, totaling an estimated 400
closings according to city and
state data. Meanwhile, the pop-
ulation of children under 5 has
increased steadily.
Del Rio noted that many of
the challenges of child care in
the city disproportionately af-
fect women, both the providers
who run most of the small oper-
ations, and the parents who are
forced to stay home for lack of
child care. The owners of home-
based care businesses in Boston
are almost exclusively female
(90 percent), according to city
records.
Del Rio said the pilot will of-
fer three types of grants: $2,000
awards to start-up businesses;
$1,000 to $3,000 to existing
providers to help shore up their
operations; and one grant of up
to $10,000 to a business that
collaborates with other provid-
ers to reduce costs through bulk
purchases of supplies or shared
accounting and bookkeeping.
The city plans to hold work-
shops in the next month to help
providers understand the appli-
cation process. The application
deadline will be Nov. 15.
The child care survey, in-
tended to help shape policy
around child care, was inserted
into the city’s annual census.
Some 2,600 residents with chil-uCHILDCARE
Continued from Page B1dren under age 5 responded —
about 9 percent of city residents
with children in that age group.
The survey results are not
representative of Boston’s gen-
eral population because of a
disproportionately high num-
ber of responses from Jamaica
Plain, Charlestown, Roslindale,
and the South End, and a dis-
proportionately low number
from Dorchester and Roxbury.
The city said it has since re-
solved some kinks in its survey
process and plans to ask more
questions about child care in its
2020 census.Child advocates said the re-
sults of the initial survey help
paint a clearer picture of how
the sky-high price of day care
affects everyday life.
“Some of the respondents
talked about a couple days us-
ing a relative for care and then
a couple days with the mom or
dad staying home — very com-
plicated solutions families are
coming up with to deal with the
fact that it’s unavailable or un-
affordable,” said Kristin Mc-
Swain, executive director of the
Boston Opportunity Agenda, an
organization that creates pub-
lic-private educational partner-
ships.
Day-care hours are also a
problem for many families.
More than 20 percent of par-
ents indicated that the hours ofoperation at child care facilities
did not mesh with their work
schedules.
“There is a lot we knew an-
ecdotally,” McSwain said, “but
this is the first step in giving us
some data points.”
Matt LiPuma, executive di-
rector of the Family Nurturing
Center, a Dorchester organiza-
tion that runs play groups and
other services for low-income
families, said the city’s survey
underscored what his group
sees every day — parents who
want to work, but can’t find
child care that they can afford.
“They’re always looking for
day care and they can’t get into
Head Start or an affordable slot,
[so] they will bring their kids to
play group as an alternative so
their kids are getting some so-
cialization and they’re meeting
other families,” LiPuma said.
McSwain’s organization
plans to release a study in early
November that builds on the
city’s findings by incorporating
additional data about child care
availability. She said the goal is
to develop partnerships be-
tween early education centers
and corporations to increase
supply and quality.
Though the city’s $70,000
investment in pilot programs
for home-based child care is a
modest one, McSwain said it
makes sense to start small.
“These are very small busi-
nesses, so too much for any one
may be more than they can
manage,” she said. “You want to
see the results before you do a
huge investment and tailor
what you learn across a larger
system.”Kay Lazar can be reached at

EAST BOSTON RESIDENT
Writing in the comments section
of a city surveyBy Emily Sweeney
GLOBE STAFF
A Weymouth man who was
in Chicago to run the city’s mar-
athon over the weekend is be-
ing called a hero after he
snatched a gun out of a man’s
hand on a subway train.
Jean-Paul “JP” LaPierre was
riding a CTA Blue Line train
Sunday morning when he sub-
dued the gunman, who was lat-
er identified as Tremaine An-
derson, according to a state-
ment from the Chicago Police
Department.
The 54-year-old Weymouth
resident was on his way to run
the Chicago Marathon when
the incident unfolded. When
the train stopped at Cumber-
land station, he stepped off and
asked another passenger why
so many runners were rushing
off.
“He tells me, ‘There’s a guy
at the front of the train with a
gun. He has a gun and he’s rob-
bing people,’ ” LaPierre said in
a telephone interview Wednes-
day with the Globe.
At that moment, said
LaPierre, he thought of all the
innocent people on the train,
and the marathon runners who
were looking forward to run-
ning the race, and here was this
gunman threatening them. It
was a heartless act, he said that
reminded him of the 2013 Bos-
ton Marathon bombings.“I got really angry,” he said.
That’s when LaPierre went
after the gunman.
“I came right up behind
him,” he said. “I have very good
reflexes. I knew I could get to
him.”
LaPierre said he saw the gun
in the suspect’s hand and as he
turned away, LaPierre reached
for it.
“Right away I located the
gun and got it away from him,”
he said. “I put all my weight on
him and pushed him against
thedoor.Iwasn’tgoingtolet
him go.”
In a video that was shot by
another passenger and posted
on WGN9, LaPierre can be seen
tussling with the gunman and
pinning him up against the
doors of the train. When the
gunman tried to get away, LaPi-
erre yelled: “You don’t move!
You don’t move.... I’m not let-
ting you go!”
LaPierre refused to let the
suspect leave the train.
While the other passengers
looked on, LaPierre asked them
to get a police officer. And at
one point LaPierre tried to
hand the gun to a woman who
appeared to be a CTA employ-
ee.
“Put the safety on that gun,”
he said in the video.
“Honey, I have no idea how
to do that,” she replied.
“Somebody put the safety on
that gun,” LaPierre shouted, as
he kept Anderson cornered
against the doors.
Then he turned back to the
suspect and said: “I’m a boxer.
I’ll break your head in onepunch.”
Chicago police credited
LaPierre with disarming An-
derson and holding him there
until police arrived and placed
him under arrest.
“LaPierre realized Ander-
son had been robbing people
on the train,’’ the police state-
ment said. “LaPierre then took
the handgun from Anderson
and prevented Anderson fromescaping the train until CPD of-
ficers arrived and arrested’’
him.
Anderson,30,wascharged
with armed robbery and unlaw-
ful use of a weapon by a felon,
according to police.
After disarming the gun-
man, LaPierre ran the mara-
thon and then went to his fa-
vorite restaurant, the Exche-
quer Restaurant & Pub.Looking back on that eventful
day, he was grateful that his en-
counter with the gunman hap-
pened when it did.
“Thank God that situation
happened before the race,” he
said.
LaPierre insists he’s not a
hero.
“This city’s full of heroes. Ev-
ery city is full of heroes,” he
said. “I’m not a hero. I just hap-pened to be in the right place at
the right time.”
It wasn’t the first time
LaPierre has played the role of
Good Samaritan.
In June 2015, LaPierre res-
cued a 1-year-old boy who was
trapped in a car that crashed on
Route 128 in Canton.
The Humane Society of the
Commonwealth of Massachu-
setts ended up awarding
LaPierre a bronze medal “for
this lifesaving rescue,” said Eliz-
abeth Nilsson, the executive di-
rector of the group.
Nilsson said the crash oc-
curred at the junction of Inter-
states 93 and 95, and LaPierre
stopped and ran over to the car.
“He could hear a child’s cry and
saw a woman trapped in the
car,” she said. “He was helped
by another driver who stopped... and he got the baby out.”
In an interview with WCVB-
TV at the time, LaPierre said he
was driving home from his job
at a bakery in West Roxbury
when he saw the crushed car
and wanted to help out.
Andevenmorerecently,in
August 2019, LaPierre man-
aged to wrangle an 8-foot-long
Burmese python that was on
the loose in Newton.
On Aug. 24 Newton Mayor
Ruthanne Fuller’s office wrote
on Facebook that LaPierre was
the “self proclaimed snake ex-
pert” who tracked down the
missing pet python named
Lightning.
