Description:
In November 2014, Congress reauthorized the Child Care and Development Block (CCDBG) grant for the first time since 1996. The new law gives legislators an opportunity to take leadership not only to implement the required policy changes to comply with the reauthorization but also to weigh in on designing a child care system that meets the needs of children and their families as well as how to connect this work to the broader early learning efforts in their states. This policy primer provides background on and a snapshot of the major provisions of CCDBG Act of 2014 as well as information on state flexibility and opportunities, recent state legislative examples and actions currently being considered by states.
