Military Child Care

NACCRRA is working with DOD to help those who serve in the military find and afford child care that suits their unique needs. Through several innovative civilian/military efforts among DOD, NACCRRA & Child Care Resource & Referral agencies, we are building the quality and capacity of child care throughout the country.

Military Child Care in your Neighborhood: For National Guard and Reserve service members living in geographically dispersed areas where on-base military child care is not available. Active Guard and Reserve (AGR) personnel, Recruiting Specialists, ROTC instructors, Military Entrance Processing personnel and service members on independent duty assignments, Federal technicians are eligible for assistance.

Operation Military Child Care: For Children of activated National Guard and Reserves, activated or deployed in the Global War on Terror. A subsidy for licensed child care that is based on total family income and child care expenses. All income levels and ranks are eligible.

Operation: Child Care: For families of service members participating in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Child Care providers have volunteered a minimum of 4 hours of free service for service members home on R&R.

To apply for any of these great services, families & service members can call 1-800-424-2246 ext 341 or check them out online at http://www.ChildCareAware.org
