Plain-English Summary

The bill would create a pilot program where the federal government, states, and families share the costs of child care to make it more affordable for working parents. The program would test this cost-sharing approach in select areas to see if it helps more families access quality child care without spending too much of their income on it. This would primarily affect low- and middle-income families struggling with child care expenses.
