Kairo Act of 2024

The Kairo Act of 2024 requires child care providers receiving federal funds (like Child Care Development Block Grants or Head Start) to create a "parent’s bill of rights" document. This document must include specific information for parents, such as child abuse hotline contacts, access to facility inspection reports, procedures for reviewing video recordings of incidents, and policies on staff training. Providers must distribute this written document to parents within 45 days of the law’s effective date or before a child’s first day in care. The law applies directly to center-based, family, and religious child care providers receiving federal funding, aiming to increase transparency and parent access to facility records.
