Additional funds will also go to areas with a shortage of child care, including for building and renovating facilities.
Key points
Significant increase in annual child care funding, starting with $20 billion in 2026, with annual adjustments for inflation.
Additional $5 billion annually to improve child care access, quality, and supply in areas of greatest need.
Support for child care workers through fair wages and professional development opportunities.
Funds can be used for construction, renovation, and modernization of child care facilities, including family child care homes.
Prioritization of child care services during non-traditional hours, for children with disabilities, dual language learners, homeless children, children in foster care, and low-income families.
