New Legislation Aims to Improve Child Care Access for Student Parents
September 18, 2025 - 17:59
Katherine Clark and Tammy Duckworth have taken a significant step to support parenting students by reintroducing the Child Care Access Means Parents in Schools (CCAMPIS) Reauthorization Act. This important legislation is designed to enhance access to affordable, on-campus childcare for over 3 million student parents across the United States.
The CCAMPIS program has been instrumental in helping students balance their academic responsibilities with parenting duties. By ensuring that childcare services are available on or near college campuses, this initiative aims to alleviate some of the challenges that parenting students face. The reintroduced bill proposes to reauthorize the program through 2031, with a substantial funding level of $500 million.
This funding will not only support existing childcare services but also expand access to new resources, allowing more students to pursue their education while raising their children. The reauthorization of CCAMPIS reflects a commitment to fostering an inclusive educational environment for all students, regardless of their parenting status.
