FiledOctober 30th, 2014In Brief: The bicameral, bipartisan, agreement reached to reauthorize the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) improves the quality of child care by requiring basic health and safety protections for children whose care is paid for by taxpayer dollars. The funds set-aside for state activities to improve the quality of care will require more accountability for the use of those dollars. In addition, more emphasis will be placed on strengthening the child care workforce, the cornerstone of quality child care.
