1 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa2 tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 

3 SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 

4 This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Working Families 

5 Child Care Act of 2014’’. 

6 SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 

7 Congress finds the following: 

8 (1) Child care for infants and toddlers is often 

9 difficult to access or afford. Only about a third of 

10 child care centers serve infants. While 70 percent of 

11 centers serve toddlers, only a third of teachers re12 port that they care for children under age 3. About 

13 half of all requests to child care resource and refer14 ral agencies concern care for infants and toddlers. 

15 (2) Child care is second only to the family as 

16 the setting in which early development takes place 

17 for many infants and toddlers. Sixty-one percent of 

18 mothers with children younger than 3 years of age 

19 are in the labor force and over 6,000,000 children 

20 younger than 3 years of age are cared for by some21 one other than their parents for some part or all of 

22 the day. Therefore, the relationship between the 

23 child and the child care provider often plays a sig24 nificant role in child development. 


rfrederick on DSK6VPTVN1PROD with BILLS

•HR 5000 IH

1 (3) Dramatic brain development in a child’s 

2 first 3 years of life, shaped by the quality of early 

3 experiences and relationships with trusted adults, 

4 builds the foundational architecture for thinking, 

5 reasoning, language, emotion, and self-regulation. 

6 (4) Early adverse experiences, such as economic 

7 hardship, unstable housing, poor nutrition, abuse or 

8 neglect, or parental mental health or substance 

9 abuse problems, affect brain development, with ef10 fects on long-term productivity and health that can 

11 last a life-time. Children with such hardships early 

12 in life often experience high levels of chronic stress, 

13 which can alter the brain’s architecture and under14 mine developing biological systems. Almost half of 

15 all infants and toddlers live in low-income families, 

16 and 61 percent have at least one risk factor for poor 

17 health or developmental outcomes. 

18 (5) Teachers serving infants and toddlers re19 ceive wages that are 28 percent lower than those of 

20 teachers serving 3–5 year olds. Some difference re21 mains even when education is taken into account. 

22 The median hourly wage for a teacher with a BA de23 gree serving infants and toddlers is $11.30 com24 pared with $15.50 for teachers serving 3–5 year25 olds.

•HR 5000 IH

1 (6) Low reimbursement rates to providers make 

2 it extremely challenging to offer high quality care to 

3 low-income children. In 2013, just three states set 

4 their reimbursement rates at the 75th percentile of 

5 current market rates. Many states set their rates 

6 substantially below the 75th percentile. 

7 (7) Research shows that high-quality child care 

8 can mitigate some of the effects of adverse experi9 ences, including poverty, and that low-income chil10 dren in particular can benefit from high-quality child 

11 care that provides nurturing, child-centered teachers 

12 and a safe, predictable environment. Yet, at-risk 

13 children younger than 3 years of age often receive 

14 low-quality child care that can lead to poor develop15 mental outcomes. 

16 (8) High-quality child care has been shown to 

17 promote positive cognitive, language, and social and 

18 emotional development, and contribute to academic 

19 success. Specifically, high-quality child care can also 

20 help improve a child’s communication skills, behav21 ioral skills, math and language assessment scores, 

22 and verbal intelligence. 

23 (9) Research has found strong connections be24 tween provider education and training levels and 

25 child care quality, including positive caregiving that 


rfrederick on DSK6VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
5 

•HR 5000 IH

1 can improve child outcomes. More than a quarter of 

2 infant-toddler teachers have only a high school edu3 cation, twice the rate for teachers of preschool age 

4 children. 19 percent of infant-toddler teachers have 

5 a bachelor’s degree compared with 45 percent of 

6 teachers of 3–5 year olds. Twenty-seven States have 

7 an infant-toddler credential defining the particular 

8 knowledge and skills needed to work with children 

9 younger than 3 years of age, but only 17 States re10 quire specific qualifications for infant-toddler staff. 

11 (10) Twenty-four percent of infants and tod12 dlers receiving CCDBG subsidies are cared for in 

13 family child care homes. Family child care networks 

14 that create a supportive relationship with a specially 

15 trained coordinator and provide on-site training and 

16 mentoring have been shown to improve the quality 

17 of family child care providers. 

18 (11) Twenty-seven States use infant and tod19 dler specialist networks as the structure for pro20 viding training and technical assistance, using re21 search-based training and techniques such as men22 toring and on-site coaching, to all types of providers 

23 of child care for infants or toddlers. 

24 (12) Infants and toddlers have unique needs 

25 that differ from those of older children in areas such 


rfrederick on DSK6VPTVN1PROD with BILLS
6 

•HR 5000 IH

1 as health and safety, interaction with teachers and 

2 caregivers, and learning, yet not all States recognize 

3 those differences in their Quality Rating and Im4 provement Systems. Just 16 States have infant and 

5 toddler standards in their Quality Rating and Im6 provement Systems. 

7 SEC. 3. MANDATORY CHILD CARE FUNDING FOR FAMILIES
