Pets, Children and Family

More than likely, you don't arrive in Possibility City alone. There's someone with you that you love and care for - a child, a parent, a pet.

Louisville has the resources to make them as comfortable here as you are - homebuilder.com called us one of the Top 20 places in America to raise a family.

The search for child care should begin with a stop at Community Coordinated Child Care (4C), an agency which (among many other services) maintains a database of licensed child care providers- you can search yourself, online, or contact the agency to have 4C search for you. Local and private schools offer a number of excellent options. Meanwhile, the rest of Louisville is massively kid-friendly - parks, festivals, restaurants, museums, the library, the zoo and every other feature of the city welcomes children.

And they also welcome seniors, who will find such amenities as restaurants and the world-renowned arts scene to their liking - not to mention benefits such as reduced bus fares and free or reduced tuition at local universities. Kentuckiana Regional Planning and Development Agency (KIPDA) is a storehouse of information on senior issues - it maintains an invaluable list of adult day care centers. Other organizations provide information, assistance and referrals to meet the challenges of seniors and their caregivers.

As for Bowser and Fifi Meowington, Louisville is as hospitable to them as it is to the humans who are close to you. There are kennels, "doggie day cares," self-service dog washes, three "dog runs" in area parks, veterinarians galore - and salons that will have your pet looking like a million bucks.

Possibility City extends its possibilities to everybody.
