On Wednesday The House passed two major bills providing billions of dollars towards child care. The first bill, Child Care is Essential Act, will provide $50 billion to child care centers immediately. The second bill, the Child Care for Economic Recovery Act, will provide $170 billion in funds over the course of the next ten years.
The second bill is geared towards providing the funding for necessary safety upgrades in order to meet the current safety precautions. This legislation comes at a crucial time as many child care centers across the country have permanently closed, with others at risk of closing.
