Iowa launches real-time childcare website, Iowa Childcare Connect, to address shortages and high costs.

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has launched a new website, Iowa Childcare Connect, to help parents find available childcare providers near them in real time. The initiative aims to address childcare issues such as worker shortages and high costs, following a $545 million investment in childcare during the pandemic, creating 24,270 new childcare slots. The website will provide real-time information about available childcare providers near parents' workplaces, and will help the state identify areas with limited childcare access.
