In February Sen. Casey (D-PA) and Reps. Crowley (D-NY) and Frankel (D-FL) introduced the Child C.A.R.E. Act, landmark legislation that would provide access to affordable, high-quality child care to all infants and toddlers in low-income families by 2025.
The Act would provide mandatory funding to expand access to high quality infant-toddler care, increase provider payment rates to support the costs of high-quality child care, increase the compensation of infant-toddler child care providers, and otherwise strengthen the infant-toddler workforce.
