Child Care
The Great Lakes Region is dedicated to providing federal agencies with valuable services, including safe and nurturing child care environments in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin for the children of federal employees.
Federal agency employees may inquire about childcare services by:
- Contacting the director for the GSA child care center desired, choosing from the current list of child care centers in the Great Lakes Region;
- Scheduling an interview with the specific child care center's director to discuss individual child care needs and arrange a tour of the facility; and
- Providing the information necessary for the child care center to process an application.
Federal employees may be eligible for child care subsidies through the Federal Employee Subsidy Program.
The majority of the Great Lakes Region's child care centers have been accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), which assesses child care centers against rigorous standards for health and safety, staffing, staff qualifications, physical environment, and administration. The NAEYC accreditation holds the highest standards in the nation for early childhood programs.
For more information, please contact the the Great Lakes Region Child Care Coordinator at (312) 886-0611 or visit the GSA National Child Care Website.
