Gov. Holcomb announced the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration’s Office of Early Childhood and Out-of-School Learning is awarding $18.1 million in employer-sponsored child care grants to 64 businesses, community groups and school corporations

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.
