This legislation aims to reauthorize and enhance the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act of 1990, focusing on improving access to child care for families, particularly those relying on relative caregivers like grandparents and aunts or uncles. The bill seeks to give parents more choices in selecting child care providers and streamline the process for receiving assistance. Key provisions include an increase in funding to 4 billion for each fiscal year from 2026 to 2031, emphasizing parental choice through child care certificates that can be used to pay relatives providing care.
