Summary
The Rural Child Care Access Act authorizes the Health and Human Services Secretary to award up to $4 million grants to state and local child‑care facilities in areas with fewer than 50,000 residents. Funds must be used for construction, renovation or upgrades that improve care, train providers, aid recruitment and retention, or boost community engagement. The goal is to strengthen child‑care infrastructure where it is most needed.
