“I am deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Cpl. Blake Reynolds.

Child care is not a luxury. For parents across Indiana, it is what allows them to work, attend school and provide for their families. For employers, it is what keeps a reliable workforce in place. And for our children, it is the foundation for lifelong learning and social growth. Yet this fall, the state announced deep cuts to child care voucher reimbursements and paused new enrollments in the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF). Those decisions threaten to unravel a system that is already hanging by a thread.
