Lets students use Federal work-study to help with child care and early learning programs.
This bill would let college students in the Federal work-study program work in child care and early learning centers, including Head Start. This would give students more work options and help child care programs get more support. These jobs are not currently listed as community service options.
Today, the Federal work-study program explicitly lists 'literacy training' as an eligible community service, but it does not specifically include child development and early learning. After this bill, 'child development and early learning (including Head Start programs and Early Head Start programs)' would be clearly added as eligible community services alongside literacy training.
