The Build Back Better Act (BBB) will provide significant transformative funding to support the fragile child care and pre-kindergarten (pre-K) sectors and more equitably serve America's children, families, and child care workers. In Understanding the Child Care and Pre-K Provisions in the Build Back Better Act, the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP) outlines these provisions in detail (BBB Act Section 23001, Birth Through Five Child Care and Early Learning Entitlement; and Section 23002, Universal Preschool). Using a question-and-answer format, the full brief reviews specific funding levels and mechanisms; how states, tribes, territories, providers, and families can access these transformative investments; and other important provisions. This executive summary presents a summary on the following: (1) Historic federal investments will help states strengthen and expand child care and pre-K programs; (2) Child care and pre-K will become more affordable for more families under the BBB Act; and (3) How this legislation will improve the availability and quality of child care and pre-K programs.
