Child Care Public-Private Partnership Act

Summary

Directs the Secretary, in considering applications for approval, to: (1) ensure an equitable geographic and rural/urban distribution of assistance; and (2) give special consideration to nonprofit groups serving significant populations of low-income children in communities lacking licensed day care facilities. Requires each grant recipient to submit an annual report to the Secretary concerning the extent and effects of its program. Requires the Secretary to evaluate and audit community child care funds each year. Authorizes FY 1988 through 1990 appropriations.
