Child Care Support: Prioritizing Vouchers and Fair Rates

This act aims to improve access to child care by prioritizing child care vouchers, giving parents more choice. It also ensures that voucher values match other support forms and that care rates do not discriminate based on facility type.
Key points
Parents will have priority access to child care vouchers, increasing their freedom to choose a facility.
Voucher values will be equivalent to other forms of child care funding, ensuring fair support.
States are prohibited from setting different child care rates solely based on the type of facility (e.g., home-based vs. center-based) or provider status (e.g., non-profit vs. for-profit).
