School Facilities Child Care Act - Authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to make grants to public agencies and private nonprofit organizations having the capacity to furnish school-age child care services in order to assist such agencies and organizations to establish and operate such services in public schools.

Sets forth information which must be included in applications by such agencies or organizations to the Secretary for such grants.
Limits the Federal share of the operating costs of programs receiving funds under this Act to 50 percent in the second fiscal year of assistance to the program and 25 percent in the third fiscal year. Requires that Federal funds under this Act be used only to supplement and, to the extent practicable, increase the level of funds that would, in the absence of such Federal funds, be made available from non-Federal sources for the purposes of establishing and operating child care service programs, and in no case to supplant such non-Federal sources.
Requires the Secretary, in approving the applications, to: (1) assure that there is an equitable distribution of approved applications; (2) give priority to applications from applicants in communities with the greatest need and a shortage of economic resources for such services; and (3) give consideration to applications from applicants who can illustrate an identifiable base of community support.
Directs the Secretary to carry out a program of collecting data from recipients of assistance under this Act designed to provide a national needs assessment for child care services of school-age children in the United States.
