The bill establishes a comprehensive birth-to-five child care and early learning program that provides financial assistance to eligible children, with a focus on supporting underserved populations. Key components of the bill include:
Funding and Assistance
The bill sets up funding provisions for various stakeholders, including:
- Territories, Indian Tribes, and Tribal organizations, which will receive payments to support their child care programs and cover administrative costs.
- From 2026 onwards, states are required to allocate funds specifically for direct child care services, quality enhancements, and the issuance of child care certificates to ensure access for eligible children, especially in underserved communities.
Support for Child Care Providers
The act prioritizes certain types of child care providers when it comes to receiving subgrants. These may include:
- Providers who offer services during nontraditional hours.
- Programs that cater to infants and dual language learners.
- Facilities that serve disadvantaged children.
To qualify for funding, providers must demonstrate a commitment to service quality and must primarily use the funds for personnel costs, ensuring that care is both inclusive and meets established educational standards.
Expansion of Head Start Programs
The bill also provides authorization for Head Start agencies located in states that are currently non-participants to expand their services. An emphasis is placed on serving underserved communities. Additionally, the legislation includes guidelines for non-federal contributions, ensuring that spending levels are maintained, new funds are used to supplement existing funding, and all activities comply with federal nondiscrimination laws.
Strategic Focus on Underserved Communities
Throughout the bill, there is a strong emphasis on prioritizing support for underserved communities, aiming to improve child care access and quality for populations that have been historically disadvantaged.
Funding Appropriations
