Child Care Workforce Act

Introduced·3/4/25

The Child Care Workforce Act aims to enhance child care services by supplementing wages for eligible child care workers.

The Child Care Workforce Act establishes a pilot program to award competitive grants to States, Indian Tribes, and Tribal organizations. These grants aim to supplement the wages of eligible child care workers, thereby attracting and retaining workers, improving their well-being, and enhancing the quality of child care services. The Secretary of Health and Human Services will evaluate the program's effectiveness and report to Congress within two years of implementation. The Act also includes provisions for public awareness campaigns and financial counseling for eligible workers.
