The state stopped issuing new vouchers last December, and nearly 31,000 children were on the waitlist as of September.

Indiana child care workers and advocates are condemning the new cuts to Child Care and Development Fund reimbursement rates.

Indiana is reimplementing a waitlist for two of its child care voucher programs: the Child Care Development Fund and On My Way Pre-K. This is the first time since 2018 new voucher applicants will be waitlisted.
