With the rising cost for childcare and limited available affordable child care facilities in our county, our Leadership Hendricks County capstone group decided to create a local resource to help businesses in our community address this challenge.

This booklet will guide your business as you consider implementing family-friendly policies to support working parents and recruit and maintain staff.
