We are excited to share new advocacy resources to support you in responding to the proposed revisions to Indiana’s child care regulations. Your voice is critical in shaping policies that impact children, families, and the early childhood workforce across our state.

To help you engage confidently and effectively, INAEYC has developed two new tools:
-INAEYC Public Comment Advocacy and Training Resource: https://bit.ly/4fQAP0t
