We are introducing the "Child Care Workforce and Facilities Act of 2025" to support states in expanding both the child care workforce and the availability of quality child care facilities, specifically targeting areas with an inadequate supply of child care services. This legislation aims to make child care more accessible and affordable by providing grants for training programs, credentialing, and the construction or renovation of child care facilities.
