State leaders say childcare affordability is a priority — and they are looking to employers to share the cost. But it remains unclear how many on either side will contribute. But in northeast Indiana, one early childhood coalition is testing a version of that public-private approach.

🎉 **ONE YEAR IN BUSINESS!** 🎉

Today, I’m celebrating **one year of Jennifer Lee Consulting LLC!** 🌱

What started as a new chapter after 5.5 years with CASY has grown into something I’m incredibly proud of. Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside child care providers, early childhood professionals, community leaders, coalitions, and organizations who are committed to strengthening early childhood systems.

From workshops and presentations to coaching, strategic planning, data, and community collaboration, every project has reminded me why I love this work.

I’m especially grateful for the people who believed in me, opened doors, shared opportunities, referred me, partnered with me, and trusted me to be part of their work. **Your support has meant more than you know.** ❤️

One year ago, I stepped out in faith and planted a seed. Today, I’m celebrating the growth—and looking forward to seeing what continues to bloom. 🌱🌻

Here’s to **Year Two!**
