Child Care: Mandatory State Performance Reviews

Key Points

  • This bill requires the federal government to perform a deep dive into how states run their child care programs every three years. These reviews will check if states are following federal laws and using taxpayer money properly.
  • States that have a history of failing audits or ignoring past warnings will be officially labeled as "high risk." This label tells the public and the government that the state's program needs serious improvement.
  • Once a state is called high risk, federal officials will watch them even more closely. This extra monitoring is meant to fix problems like poor record-keeping or failing to meet safety and quality standards for child care.
  • By making these check-ups mandatory, the bill aims to ensure that the billions of dollars sent to states for child care are actually helping working parents and keeping children safe.
