Oregon lawmakers consider bill to boost child care provider support

Oregon lawmakers are considering a proposed bill establishing a Child Care Provider Incentive Program.

The initiative seeks to bolster child care providers by addressing the challenges of accessibility and affordability in the state. The bill’s primary objective is to attract new child care providers while sustaining existing ones by reducing financial barriers. Proposed incentives include loan repayment assistance, housing support stipends, and scholarships for students in early childhood development.

These measures are designed to alleviate economic burdens and make operating child care centers more viable.
