Proposed Changes to the Federal Child Care and Development Block Grant

Sen. Robert Casey (D-PA) has proposed amending the Child Care and Development Block Grant. The bill, entitled Starting Early, Starting Right Act amends the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) and recognizes that affordable, high-quality child care helps children develop the skills they need to be ready for school. The bill also helps families get ahead by giving parents the support and peace of mind they need to be productive at work.
