On Tuesday, members of the LaunchPad Coalition gathered to announce and celebrate the availability of the Leap Child Care Scholarships to Kosciusko County families.

Kosciusko County Community Foundation made a commitment to fund the scholarship program for the next five years using dollars from a Lilly Endowment Inc. GIFT VII Large Scale Funding Opportunity grant.

The scholarship program helps meet the strategic goals of Launchpad to increase accessibility and affordability of high quality child care and early learning services for Kosciusko County families. For more information, and to check eligibility requirements, check out the website here.
