Evansville, IN – According to the state officials, this initiative is reportedly mobilizing employers and communities to create or expand child care offerings that address the needs of working Hoosiers.
Thirty-three employers plan to provide on-site child care to their employees, and 13 will offer child care tuition benefits to their workers.
The remaining awardees plan to support child care for their employees in a variety of other ways, such as reserving seats at partner child care centers.
This round of awardees will receive 72% of available funding from the $25 million fund. Round two awardees – which will be announced in early 2024 – will receive the remaining funds.
