In response to the Governor’s Child Care Task Force Report recommendations, Iowa launched Iowa Child Care Connect (C3) on August 22^nd. C3 powers two new public online tools,
Child Care Search and Child Care Data Dashboards.

The new tools help:

• Families find child care,
• Child care businesses advertise open slots and fill child vacancies faster, and
• Local and state leaders understand current vacancies, supply, and demand of child care in communities to provide actionable insights for strategic planning toward solutions.

Attend one of the Iowa Child Care Connect presentations/demos to learn more about how the Child Care Search can help employees/parents find child care that meets their needs and how the Child Care Data Dashboards can help your organization/community understand the current supply and demand for child care.

Please attend one of the following sessions:

• Tuesday, September 17^th,
  from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m.
• Thursday, September 19^th,
  from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m.
• Monday, September 23^rd,
  from 9:00 – 10:00 a.m.
