Some of the money will also be used to create a home visit program to support any parents of young children.

According to Kids Count Montana, the state currently has capacity to meet about a third of the need for child care slots. The cost of care is comparable to in-state college tuition.

The state said it will focus efforts in underserved communities with vulnerable populations.
