Militarychildcare.com

MilitaryChildCare.com is a Department of Defense website designed to help military families find and secure child care. The platform provides a comprehensive resource for exploring, comparing, and requesting military-operated or military-subsidized child care options worldwide.

The DoD is committed to ensuring quality child care is available and affordable for DoD and military families worldwide.

The military child care system serves as a model for the nation. Programs offer the highest quality child care, with offerings designed to meet the unique needs of military members, such as care provided during non-traditional hours or over the weekends.

DoD offers various types of programs, such as on-installation child development and school age centers, family child care for a more home-like setting, and MCCYN fee assistance to make community-based care more affordable for families.

To ensure care is affordable, the DoD establishes annual fee guidelines, so a family’s cost is based on their Total Family Income.

The DoD created MilitaryChildCare.com (MCC) to streamline the search for child care process and connect families to information and quality child care resources.

MCC places families in the driver’s seat of their child care search. Families can conduct unlimited, customized searches to find child care providers close to home or work and request care at any time, from any location. This flexibility allows families to identify all available child care options, wherever their mission takes them.
