This year, states had multiple factors to juggle related to child care policy, including spending down remaining American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, developing new Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) Plans for 2025-2027, and addressing new federal requirements in CCDF regulations.   CCAoA’s analysis found that during the 2024 legislative session, states enacted legislation around several common policy themes for child care and early learning. While not exhaustive of all legislative and administrative activities this year, this resource (updated October 2024) explores legislation and funding states passed aligned to these themes:  - Funding to continue stabilization grants and wage supports for providers  - Addressing new policy requirements included in the 2024 CCDF Final Rule   - Increasing state funds for subsidy   - Expanding subsidy eligibility to include child care providers  - Improving subsidy reimbursement   - Piloting public-private cost-sharing models   - Funding increases for mixed-delivery preschool programs     [Read the full analysis, State Session Round-Up: Summer 2024, here. ](https://info.childcareaware.org/hubfs/State%20Session%20Round%20Up%2c%20Summer%202024.pdf) *Interested in seeing more of these resources?
