Great Start Affordability Scholarship Program Heard Again in Legislature
April 2025
The Minnesota House Children and Families Finance and Policy Committee recently heard a bill that aims to reduce the cost of child care for Minnesotans.
The bill, HF1383 , would establish a scholarship program for families needing child care for young children and aims to prevent Minnesotans from spending more than 7% of their annual income on child care.
The scholarship, referred to as the great start affordability scholarship program, would apply to care for children from birth to kindergarten entry, according to the bill draft.
