Child care challenges are holding back Kentucky families, employers, and communities. For too long, progress has been stalled—despite growing awareness of the problem.

That’s why the Kentucky Child Care Collaborative—made up of 40 leaders from business, government, and the nonprofit sector—came together to find common ground. After eight months of work, they’ve released more than three dozen shared, actionable recommendations to expand access to affordable, high-quality child care.

These solutions reflect a rare consensus across sectors—and a real opportunity to move Kentucky forward.

We’re calling on state and local leaders to act. Join us in supporting the Kentucky Child Care Collaborative’s recommendations and help ensure every Kentucky family has access to the care they need to work, grow, and thrive.
