The Affordable Care Act for Child Care Employees 

   

Child care workers often do not have health insurance. Many child care centnullers cannot afford to offer health insurance for their employees. And many child care teachers cannot afford to buy health insurance on their own.  Below are some questions often asked by child care employers about the new national health insurance initiative.  The answers to these questions provide a basic overview to help child care employers. There is also a companion factsheet for individuals that can provide basic information for your employees.
