Childcare Worker Opportunity Act: Removing Higher Education Requirements in DC.
This bill repeals regulations in the District of Columbia that mandate childcare staff must hold a degree, certificate, or minimum college credit hours. The change aims to make it easier for individuals without formal higher education to enter the childcare profession. This could potentially increase the supply of workers and affect the cost and availability of childcare services for families.
