Child Care Support: Expanding Facilities and Workforce

This act aims to increase access to quality child care, especially in areas with shortages. It provides grants to states and tribal entities to expand child care facilities and to train and employ new child care providers. This means parents may find it easier to access child care, and individuals interested in working with children will have new career development opportunities.
Key points
Financial support for states and tribal entities to create new child care slots, including in family homes.
Grants for training and professional development for individuals seeking child care careers, including those without higher education degrees.
Increased availability of child care in "child care deserts" – areas with a low supply of providers.
Support for facilities offering care during non-traditional hours, easing burdens for parents with varied work schedules.
