4C is a nonprofit serving 14 counties in Southwestern Indiana. More than forty years ago, 4C started out as a true grassroots organization with a few local child care directors and preschool teachers meeting to network and share information about child care. 4C was incorporated in 1969. In the late 1990s, research about brain development in children identified issues around child care as national priorities. Our Mission We believe every child deserves the opportunity to develop into a healthy, contributing citizen. We engage the community and provide a leading voice to improve the accessibility, affordability and quality of child care. Our Vision Communities across Southwestern Indiana value the success of all children as one of their highest priorities and equip every child at an early age with the resources needed to be successful.
