The Expanding Child Care Access Act of 2025 aims to support individuals who want to start licensed family child care services by providing them with a financial incentive. The main objective is to make it easier for people to establish child care facilities, which can help address the growing demand for child care services. The key provision of this act is the introduction of a refundable tax credit for qualified child care startup expenses. Eligible taxpayers can receive a credit of up to $5,000 for expenses incurred in starting a licensed family child care service.
