Build Back Better’s provisions to lower childcare costs, improve the quality of early education and increase wages will provide immediate relief to families hit hardest by the pandemic.
“licensed childcare is more than three times as scarce for children ages 0 to 2 than it is for those ages 3 to 5.”
Payment rates will cover the cost of high-quality childcare, including scientifically-based, developmentally-appropriate and age-appropriate strategies to promote the social, emotional, physical and cognitive development of children, including specialized training for childcare providers caring for infants and toddlers, children with disabilities and other populations.
Today, parents pay unaffordable prices for early education while early educators—the majority of whom are women—are paid poverty-level wages. In the first three years, states are required to use funds to increase childcare provider payment rates, including increased wages. Funds are also available to support the training and professional development of the early childhood workforce, including degree attainment and credentialing.
