Creates a federal pilot grant program to help States, Indian Tribes, and Tribal organizations raise pay for eligible child care workers. The goal is to attract and keep staff, improve worker well‑being, boost child care quality, and expand the availability of affordable child care.

The Department of Health and Human Services will award competitive grants. Funds can only be used for wage supplements, paid at least quarterly, and participation by workers is voluntary. Grantees may use up to 10% for administration, counseling on tax/benefit impacts, and outreach. Applicants must show how they will target need, avoid market disruption when funding ends, and evaluate results. HHS must evaluate the pilot and report to Congress within two years. The Act authorizes “such sums as necessary” starting in FY2025 and takes effect 75 days after enactment.
