The HERO Child Care for Military Families Act aims to improve access to affordable and reliable child care for military families. It expands the pool of approved child care providers within the Department of Defense by allowing the use of national service volunteers, streamlines background checks for child care employees, and authorizes job-sharing arrangements.
