DEEP DIVE: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act & Early Care and Education

By Mario Cardona, Katie Hamm

Our latest Deep Dive, “The One Big Beautiful Bill Act & Early Care and Education | Likely Impact and Implementation Considerations for Field Leaders,” explores the sweeping changes to Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), taxes, and immigration that will impact the early care and education (ECE) sector in important ways. This brief is divided into two sections that (1) provide background on OBBBA’s policy changes and their likely impact on the early care and education (ECE) sector, and (2) identify some related considerations for states as they plan for when these policies go into effect. This Deep Dive is the first in a series that will analyze the significant impacts to education that became law in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA).
