Operation: Military Child Care

The National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies offers the Operation: Military Child Care program. Families/legal guardians of the children of National Guard & Reserve members who are currently activated/deployed are eligible for the OMCC program. NACCRRA helps by assisting with locating licensed child care options in communities and providing a fee subsidy. Families are eligible to participate during the period of the Airmen's deployment and for 60 days after returning home. In addition, a child care subsidy can be provided for 60 days while a non-military spouse is looking for work. More information can be found at http://www.naccrra.org/MilitaryPrograms/

 

The AF Returning Home Care program offers no cost child care following a deployment of 30 days or longer. Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard members are able to receive 16 hours of free child care per child in the HCC Provider's home. AFR/ANG members at active duty installations may use on base FCC homes through the extended duty care program to receive this same service.
