Establishes a new competitive federal grant program to help public community colleges and minority‑serving institutions expand access to infant and toddler child care for students and to strengthen the early childhood workforce. It creates four grant types (planning, access, impact, and pipeline), requires completion of a planning grant before other grants, and sets funding limits and timelines.

Also changes the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) program to add a state plan requirement and a higher federal match for infant/toddler care when states pay at least 75% of market rates, and requires institutions to provide clear information to students about the dependent care allowance in Federal student aid cost of attendance calculations.
