     &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Child Care Choices Act of 2021&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill requires states to prioritize the availability of child care certificates over grants or contracts when providing federally supported child care assistance to families. A child care certificate is a voucher provided directly to a parent who may use the voucher only as payment for child care services.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill also prohibits states from setting differential payment rates based solely on the type of child care or type of provider.&lt;/p&gt;
