## Summary

**Expand campus child care for student parents** so more students can stay enrolled and graduate while getting affordable, high-quality care. The bill reauthorizes CCAMPIS, sets grant sizes and quality rules, and links funding to annual reporting and outcomes. - Families and student parents: Makes subsidized campus child care and before-and-after-school care more available through sliding-fee subsidies and support services aimed at improving retention and graduation. Grants must help connect families to other means-tested benefits. - Colleges and consortia: Eligible institutions must have at least 150 Pell-eligible students and can receive 5-year grants that range from $75,000 to $2,000,000 per year, with continuation tied to annual performance reports and quality improvements. - Federal program design and priorities: Awards prioritize programs that leverage local or institutional resources and serve single parents, require annual public data on enrollment and outcomes, and require plans to meet Head Start or equivalent quality standards within three years. *Would authorize $500 million per year from 2026 through 2031, increasing federal spending if appropriated.*
