care. Parents must be working, going to school, or receiving job training to
qualify. The Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) allows parents the opportunity
to maintain employment and complete educational goals without the overwhelming
financial burden of child care costs. The family must be Indiana residents
within income guidelines and have a child below the age of 13. For more
