Bill Summary
Relative to quality funding for early childhood education and care programs. Education.
AI Summary
This bill aims to improve the quality of early childhood education and care programs in Massachusetts. It requires the state to contribute funding that matches annual federal funding for these programs, and establishes "Foundation Awards" as a quality add-on to the subsidy rate for early education and out-of-school-time providers. The Foundation Awards are intended to support educator compensation, credentialing, program quality, and sustainability. The bill also requires the state board to establish a standardized methodology for developing and implementing these Foundation Awards, and to conduct regional meetings to gather data on the costs of providing high-quality early education services.
