Military families like yours can access a range of child care and school programs.
Access to child care directly affects mission readiness, morale, and retention of defense personnel worldwide. For this reason, the Department of Defense is committed to connecting military and DoD-affiliated families to quality, affordable child care programs. Military members routinely PCS every 2 to 3 years, resulting in unique challenges for families who need child care. Moving abroad or to a community without extended family to ease the child care burden makes child care decisions that much more important. MilitaryChildCare.com was designed to help you make informed child care choices. Here, you can find a variety of military child care resources. You can learn how to request and manage care in MCC, read about military child care and fee assistance programs, learn about your family’s priority and how this impacts waitlist sequencing, and browse family resources.

About Military Child Care
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.
