COACH Act

Key Points

• The COACH Act requires the Small Business Administration to create a guide specifically for people running small child care businesses. This guide will help them understand how to manage their daily operations and plan for the future.
• The guide will cover important topics like how to handle taxes, payroll, and insurance. It will also give advice on marketing the business and making sure the facility meets safety and quality standards for federal funding.
• To make sure the information is easy to find, the guide must be translated into the 10 most common languages in the U.S. besides English. This includes Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, and Korean.
• Local support centers like Women's Business Centers and Veteran Business Outreach Centers will be responsible for handing out these guides. This ensures that even small providers with very few staff members can get the help they need.
• The government will update this guide at least once every five years to keep the information current. They will work with health officials and local child care experts to make sure the advice is accurate and helpful.
