Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has unveiled a new, first-of-its kind-in-the-nation, website called Iowa Child Care Connect to help Iowans more easily find child care availability.
Reynolds says parents will be able to locate any open child care spots in their neighborhood or along their route to work– almost in real time.
Parents or other caretakers searching for openings are able to filter vacancies by specific criteria such as type of child care setting, age ranges, hours of operation, rating level.
