About this Event

Data & Drafts: The State of Child Care Access in Central Indiana

For many families, access to child care isn’t just a challenge. It’s a deciding factor.

Join us at the Indianapolis Public Library – Central Library for a free, in-person Data & Drafts event examining how access to child care varies across Central Indiana and why it matters.

Where you live and what you earn can shape whether quality child care is available and affordable, or out of reach. This session breaks down how cost and availability impact access to organized care, from child care centers to early learning programs, and what the data reveals about where gaps persist and who is most affected.



What to Expect
  • A focused, accessible data presentation
  • Time to ask questions and explore the findings
  • Opportunities to connect with others working on or interested in these issues

Data & Drafts is designed to be conversational and engaging, with space to dig into what the data actually means in practice.
