Summary
The After Hours Child Care Act adds a new Innovation Fund to the existing Child Care Block Grant program. It authorizes competitive grants of $25,000 to $500,000 for up to five years to help child‑care providers add or improve services for families where a parent works non‑traditional hours. The goal is to make child‑care more available so those parents can stay employed and advance at work.
