Biden's Executive Order Prioritizes Child Care and Long-Term Care Access and Affordability
TL;DR
President Joe Biden has signed an executive order with over 50 directives to improve access to child care and the work life of caregivers. The order seeks to improve child care for federal workers' offspring, lower costs for families in the Child Care & Development Block Grant program, provide better home-based care for military veterans, and raise pay and benefits for teachers and staff in the Head Start program. However, the directives would be funded out of existing commitments, limiting their impact.
