The pandemic has highlighted a big problem for families of young children: the high cost of quality education.
Many working parents earn too much to qualify for vouchers, but quality early care and before/after school programs are still unaffordable. That's why Indiana has extended a scholarship program to support Indiana parents of all income levels.
