Child Care
Child care is very important to military families. While demand for military child care is high and spaces are limited, families often don't know about additional child care resources available to them.
The Department of Defense (DoD) is working to reduce the shortage of care through a number of channels. Legislation has increased the number of spaces available over the past few years. New construction projects on installations and partnerships with respected partners "outside the gate" increase a military family's chance of finding quality care. The trick is knowing where to find the resources.
