An Act Directing the Department of Education to Develop Pilot Programs to Place Child Care Facilities in Selected School Administrative Units

This bill directs the Maine Department of Education to create pilot programs that place child care facilities in at least eight public schools. These programs, starting by the 2026-2027 school year and lasting six years, will provide child care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, especially for school staff. The goal is to offer hands-on training for high school students in early childhood education, provide quality child care, and help address the shortage of child care workers in the state.
