After Hours Child Care Act establishes a pilot program to fund child care for parents working nontraditional hours.

The After Hours Child Care Act aims to establish a pilot program to expand child care programs for parents working nontraditional hours. These are hours before 9 a.m., after 5 p.m., on weekends, or within a week before required attendance. The Secretary of Health and Human Services will award competitive grants to eligible entities for a five-year period, with funds used for staffing, facility improvements, curriculum development, and other related activities. The act also mandates a report to Congress every two years on the program's impact and the number of children served.
