United Way of Central Indiana is working with partners to improve the supply of and demand for quality child care. Parents must be better informed about the importance of safe, early learning environments and availability of quality child care options. Laws must change to ensure parents have those options available to them in order to help our children grow, develop and learn.

FIND YOUR LEGISLATOR

United Way supports policies that improve the quality of child care available to working families. Children have the right to high-quality care to ensure their safety and that they enter school ready to learn. Tell your state representative and senator to ensure state-funded child care programs meet minimal health and safety standards. This includes anyone who takes CCDF vouchers.
