LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Indiana has reinstated the waitlist for its child care development fund because of funding cuts.Â
More than 20,000 Indiana children are on a waitlist for a federal program that helps low-income families pay for child care, according to a report from FOX59.Â
Some child care centers said they're seeing lower enrollment because many families rely on the money from the state program.
"When I was cut, it was just, all, everything that I was able to save up was drained. All the money, everything I was able to save was cut because I had to pay for childcare," one mother told FOX59. "I had to drop out of school just to be able to take care of my daughter."Â
The child care development fund is administered through the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, and only certain families qualify.Â
