Expands eligibility for Hawaii's Preschool Open Doors Program to include more children and families.

The bill expands the Preschool Open Doors Program in Hawaii to include more children and families. It aims to enhance access to child care opportunities for families with young children by increasing access to affordable childhood care services. The program will serve two-year-old through five-year-old children, with priority given to those from low- and moderate-income families. The bill also mandates early learning assessments for providers and requires children to be prepared for school in either of Hawaii's two official languages.
