Authorizes grant applicants to restrict the age and number of children (but not to less than one unless all children are over age 13) that each parent may bring to the facility.

Prohibits the awarding of a grant unless the facility: (1) is certified to provide such services and meets all applicable State licensure or certification requirements; and (2) has a certain amount of beds. Prohibits the awarding of a grant unless the applicant submits an application and reports regarding services and agrees that the grant will be used to supplement non-Federal funds for such services. Provides for evaluations of such services. Authorizes appropriations.
