Indiana lawmakers are focusing on financial incentives as a way to raise standards at child care centers, even those that are associated with religious groups.

The Legislature's Interim Committee on Child Care is looking at setting minimum standards for any facility that receives federal money.

Faith-based ministries that run child care centers in Indiana must meet far fewer regulations than licensed centers. But the drowning of a 1-year-old boy in a baptismal pool at an Indianapolis church's child care last February reignited the debate about whether the different regulations are a good idea.
