Toddler's death highlights inconsistencies in Indiana day cares - 13 WTHR Indianapolis
What's important to take from this story is that regulations in Indiana do vary vastly depending on the type of care it is. Parents searching for care have services available to them free of charge that will not only help them locate child care in their neighborhood but educate them about the regulations and what to look for in a quality child care setting. In central Indiana parents can contact Child Care Answers to help them in their search at (317) 631-4643 or visit online at http://www.childcareanswers.com/.
