HERO Act: Improving Child Care Access for Military Families
This Act aims to reduce waitlists for military child care by simplifying hiring processes and improving data management. Military families will gain better access to care, while child care workers will receive new benefits and flexible work options.
Key points
Faster hiring: Introduction of 'preclearance' background checks to speed up the recruitment of child care staff.
New worker benefits: Access to military stores, gyms, and tuition assistance to attract and retain more caregivers.
Flexible work: Authorization of job-sharing arrangements where two part-time employees share one full-time role.
Better monitoring: Creation of a unified data system to track available spots and actual waitlist times accurately across installations.
Volunteer support: Allowing trained national service volunteers to work in military child development centers.
