Services for Early Childhood and Out-of-School Providers
Child care programs are essential to the fabric of central Indiana; they ensure a safe, caring place for children while their families contribute to the Hoosier economy and society. At CCA, we work to ensure that child care professionals have access to the resources they need to ensure the highest quality care for children.
Central Indiana Child Care Alliance
Central Indiana Child Care Alliance
The Central Indiana Child Care Alliance (“the Alliance”), in partnership with United Way of Central Indiana, supports home-based child care providers across central Indiana — starting in Marion County with plans to expand over four years.
This regional initiative helps providers share resources and services to strengthen their businesses, reduce costs, and improve quality. By centralizing access to tools, support, and expertise, the Alliance helps providers save time, lower expenses, and grow sustainably.
