Expand federal childcare assistance and ease rules for community providers

McCormick proposes increasing the Child Care and Development Block Grant’s income eligibility limit to 1.5 times a state’s median income for a family of the same size, and increasing the grant’s funding. He also supports federal assistance that encourages states to streamline licensing, relax worker education requirements, or reform zoning for faith-based and community childcare providers.

Context: The stated income limit is based on the state median income and family size. Licensing, education, and zoning changes would be encouraged through federal assistance programs to states.

In their own words

expand eligibility for the Child Care and Development Block Grant to 1.5 times the state median income for the equivalent size family
