Role

Why This Matters

The Rules Are Being Shaped With or Without You

Licensed child care operators across Indiana are facing real business pressure: voucher instability, rising insurance costs, regulatory complexity, workforce challenges, and growing competition from public-sector programs.

ICCBA exists to make sure licensed operators are not politically invisible. Founding members help build the early foundation for a stronger, more organized voice at the table.

If licensed child care businesses do not organize, decisions will continue being made without the operators who carry the responsibility, risk, and cost.
