Build childcare facilities and expand the childcare workforce
Jennifer McClellan co-introduced the Child Care Infrastructure Act and the Child Care Workforce Development Act. The bills would build early learning facilities and increase the supply of qualified childcare providers, with the stated goal of lowering costs for families. The workforce bill would provide early childhood educators with up to $6,000 a year in student loan repayment to encourage people to enter and remain in the field.
Context: The measures are described as bills she co-introduced; the passage does not say they were enacted.
In their own words
These two bills would build new early learning facilities, increase the supply of qualified childcare providers, and directly lower costs for families.
