Creates grants to help states and tribes expand child care and support workers in areas needing it most.
This bill would create a new federal grant program to help states and tribal communities expand child care options. It would set aside $100 million for competitive grants to build new facilities and train more child care workers, especially in areas with few choices. This means more quality, affordable child care for families and better support for those working in the field.
Currently, there is no specific federal grant program to help states and tribal communities expand their child care workforce and facilities, especially in areas with few child care options. If this bill becomes law, the federal government would set aside $100 million for a new competitive grant program. States and tribal communities could apply for these grants to fund projects that train child care workers and build or improve child care facilities, covering 50% of the costs.
