Reduces regulations for child care programs serving student parents pursuing education.
The problem
Student parents struggle to afford and access child care while studying. Excessive regulations increase child care costs and reduce available options for this population.
The proposal
Streamlines federal child care regulations and requirements for programs specifically serving students enrolled in educational institutions or training programs.
The impact
Student parents gain more affordable child care options. Child care providers face fewer bureaucratic requirements. Educational institutions may offer expanded on-campus or partnered child care services.
Reducing regulations makes it easier and cheaper to start child care programs for students. More student parents could afford quality care while studying, improving graduation rates and academic success.
Child care providers spend less money on compliance and paperwork. These savings could lower prices for student families or allow providers to expand services and hire more staff.
Affordable child care removes a major barrier keeping student parents from completing their education. This supports economic mobility and career advancement for this vulnerable population.
Fewer rules allow schools and organizations to create flexible, creative child care solutions tailored to student schedules. This could include evening or weekend care options not typically available.
Reducing regulations could lower health, safety, and quality requirements for child care. Children's wellbeing might be at risk if oversight decreases or staff qualifications drop.
Student-serving child care programs with fewer rules might not meet standards that non-student programs must follow. This two-tier system could create inconsistent care quality and protection levels.
Fewer regulations mean less monitoring and reporting of problems like abuse, poor conditions, or financial mismanagement. Families and authorities have fewer ways to ensure programs operate properly.
Deregulation might lower worker pay, benefits, and training requirements. This could reduce job quality for child care staff already facing low wages and poor working conditions.

Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported.
