THE ADMINISTRATION'S LEGISLATIVE CHILD CARE INITIATIVES
"The Working Family Child Care Assistance Act of 1989" and "The Head Start Amendments of 1989"

New Refundable Child Tax Credit: Low income families in which a parent works would be eligible for a tax credit of up to $1,000 per child under age four. The credit would equal 14 percent of earnings up to a maximum credit of $1,000 per child. Initially the credit would phase out as taxpayers' incomes increased from $8,000 to $13,000. This phase out range would increase to between $15,000 and $20,000 by 1994.
o 2.5 million families would be eligible for the credit initially; 3.5 million, when the credit was fully implemented.
o Two parent families in which one parent stays at home to care for the children, as well as single working parents and dual earner couples with children, would benefit from the credit.
o Families would be free to choose the kind of child care that best suits their needs -- care through churches, relatives, neighbors or child care centers.
o The credit would be provided in addition to the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and would be available, as the EITC is, in advance as a payment in parents' paychecks.

Refundable Child Care Tax Credit: The current credit would be made refundable so that low income working families with little or no Federal income tax liability would benefit fully from it.
o An additional one million families would benefit from this proposal.
o The primary beneficiaries would be low income, single working parents who incur child care expenses in order to work but who, unlike higher income parents, do not now receive assistance in meeting these expenses through the tax code.

Head Start Expansion: The FY 1990 authorization for Head Start would be increased to provide $250 million more than the FY 1989 appropriations level.
o This increased funding would enable Head Start to meet the President's commitment to serve more poor, four year olds.
o Up to 95,000 more of these children and their families could be served, increasing by a third the number of poor children in this age group in Head Start.
o This Head Start expansion would expand the range of choices available to poor families in meeting their childrens needs. In addition, it would provide the newly participating four year olds with a better start in life, allowing them to carry the gains they have made in Head Start directly into kindergarten.
