Daycare Not Detentions Act of 2026

The Daycare Not Detentions Act of 2026 provides additional funding to the Department of Health and Human Services to support child care programs, including the Child Care and Development Block Grant, Head Start, and preschool development grants. These funds are intended to help states and organizations cover necessary expenses for these programs through fiscal year 2029. The bill also rescinds $70 billion in previously allocated money for U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that has not yet been spent. Overall, the legislation redirects federal resources toward early childhood education and care rather than immigration enforcement activities.
