According to Early Learning Indiana, only 22% of children in Hamilton County are served by high-quality care. Some parts of the county have multiple providers that are at capacity but also operate at very high cost, while more rural areas do not have access to any high-quality or even acceptable quality options, impacting children, parents, employers, and the broader Hamilton County community.
To combat this, Invest Hamilton County is working with Indianapolis-based national consulting firm TPMA to develop a Childcare Action and Investment Plan. Come and discuss childcare issues and potential solutions at our first public meeting regarding childcare in Hamilton County. At this meeting, we will present an overview of the issue, discuss goals for the Childcare Action and Investment Plan, and outline next steps and ways to stay involved, including being part of a Childcare Collaborative.
Who is welcome:
- Parents
- Educators
- Childcare Providers
- Employers
- Any residents of Hamilton County
Overflow parking is available across the street from the Hamilton County Community Foundation at the Field House.
