About Child Care Answers
Child Care Answers began as a program of the Day Nursery Association in September 1985. At the time, families seeking help locating and evaluating child care could call and receive information about programs, tailored to their individual needs. Today, families can also get referrals over the phone, by email, and even through texts. In 1985, we also provided support and training for family child care home providers. Since then, we expanded our reach to help professionals in child care centers, unlicensed registered ministries, and those interested in starting their own child care business to navigate resources available to them through Indiana’s child care system. In 2021, we began our journey as an independent 501(c)3 non-profit organization and look forward to continuing to meet the needs of the central Indiana community. We consider all Child Care Answers staff, past and present, to be part of the CCA family.

I love working with CCA because they hold a positive and valuable service in our community. Everyone that I have worked with is responsive to collaboration, willing to support ideas and provide information when needed, and CCA staff are innovative thinkers. I look forward to sustaining a working relationship with Child Care Answers.
