Increased Access to Safe Child Care: New Funds for Facilities.

This act allows states to use unspent child care funds to improve the safety and availability of child care facilities. This means more child care options, especially in rural areas and for children with special needs, making it easier for parents to work.
Key points
States can reallocate unused funds to modify, renovate, and repair child care facilities to enhance safety and increase capacity.
Priority will be given to new child care providers, those serving rural areas, and those offering care during non-traditional hours or for specific populations like infants and children with disabilities.
Funds can be used to meet health and safety requirements and expand services, but not for constructing entirely new facilities.
