| Child Care |
Biden: Senator Biden has been a long and strong supporter of affordable child care. He pushed to expand the Head Start program, that now serves 900,000 children; and he voted to expand many successful childhood programs such as the Child Care and Development Block Grant, Title I preschool, and the Early Learning Fund. He also has advocated for more resources for the Women, Infants, and Children program that provides food, nutrition counseling, and access to health services to pregnant women, new mothers, and their infants.

| Child Custody and Support |
Biden: While the federal government cannot ensure that children have a father at home, it can help ensure those children have their father’s financial support. As Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Joe Biden worked to steer two major child support initiatives into law – one made it a federal crime to cross state lines to avoid paying child support; the other ensured that state courts honor the child support order of other states.
