INDIANAPOLIS — Childcare costs are more expensive than rent in 11 states and Indiana is one of them, according to one childcare watch dog group.

"I got lucky with mine that they did have an opening right when I started back to work,” Worstell said. “I started looking for childcare I think the third month I was pregnant. So, I knew very early on and as soon as I knew, I started looking. That is kind of what you have to do in Indy.” “The situation isn’t fun at all,” Worstell said. “You want your kid to have a sibling or someone to grow up with but then at the same time, you don’t want them to go hungry and be able to have a life so it just really sucks.”

"75% of our budget goes to staff salaries,” Kay Hugus, Executive Director at St. Nicholas Early Learning, said.
