Life & Work
Childcare providers, many of which are small businesses, could see increased demand if more student-parents receive federal childcare subsidies. The $850 million per year in additional authorized funding would flow through states to families, who then use it to pay childcare providers. This could provide a modest revenue boost to small childcare centers and home-based providers.
“there is authorized to be appropriated to carry out such Act $850,000,000 for each of the fiscal years 2027 through 2031”
