Bill overview
The Military Child Care Expansion Act of 2021 aims to improve access to affordable and quality child care for military families. It expands a current Department of Defense pilot program that provides financial assistance for in-home child care providers, allowing for expansion to more locations. The bill also directs the Department of Defense to establish a three-year pilot program partnering with civilian child care facilities, assess the program’s impact, and determine the root causes and costs of improving the conditions of existing child development centers. Finally, it authorizes the use of military construction funds to build new child development centers.
