Resources for Indiana’s Child Care Future

The Indiana Child Care Business Alliance, or ICCBA, is a business-led organization created to protect, strengthen, and advance licensed child care businesses across Indiana. ICCBA gives licensed operators a unified voice in Indiana’s economic, legislative, and early education future.

ICCBA is built for licensed child care operators who want a stronger voice in policy, funding, regulation, insurance, and workforce conversations. Employers, chambers of commerce, business leaders, and community partners can also support ICCBA as corporate or advocacy partners.

Indiana’s licensed child care operators face major business and policy challenges, including voucher uncertainty, rising insurance pressure, inconsistent regulatory enforcement, licensing burdens, workforce issues, and public-sector competition. ICCBA exists to organize the business side of child care so operators are not politically invisible.

ICCBA focuses on voucher stability, insurance reform, licensing modernization, regulatory consistency, private-sector child care protection, workforce development, and recognition of child care as essential economic infrastructure. These were identified as core issue areas for the website’s policy hub.

Reliable child care allows parents to work, employers to retain talent, communities to grow, and children to enter school ready to succeed. When child care breaks down, workforce reliability breaks down. ICCBA helps position child care as an economic infrastructure issue for Indiana.

No. ICCBA is designed to be an independent, statewide alliance for licensed child care businesses across Indiana. It should not represent one school, one provider, or one brand. The goal is to create a unified business voice for licensed operators statewide.
