Finding Child Care for Military Families
In partnership with the Military Services and DoD, a variety of programs are administered by the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies (NACCRRA) to meet the unique childcare needs of military families: NACCRRA then contracts with LCSNW to bring the services down to the local level.
Our Goal for You
We support military families stationed in Kitsap County with referrals to high-quality child care outside military installations.
Am I eligible?
- Active Duty (Army, Marines Corps, and Navy) military families are eligible
- Active Duty National Guard (AGR) serving under Title 10 or Title 32, United States Code (U.S.C.) military families are eligible
Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood (MCCIYN)
Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood (MCCIYN) supports military families with the cost of high quality childcare outside military installations. Military families of active duty (Army, Marine Corps and Navy) and active duty National Guard serving under Title 10 or Title 32 United States Code are eligible for this assistance. This program helps in locating high quality childcare options in local communities, subsidizes the cost of childcare, and provides a subsidy while a non-military spouse looks for work, works or attends school. Follow this link for an electronic version of program brochure.
Operation: Military Child Care (OMCC)
Operation: Military Child Care (OMCC) provides assistance for deployed active duty (Army, Marine Corps and Navy) and active duty National Guard (National Guard and Reserves) who are activated and deployed, whose children are enrolled in non DoD licensed programs. This program helps in locating licensed childcare options, reduces childcare fees through a subsidy, and provides a subsidy while a non-military spouse looks for work, works or goes to school. Members are eligible during their deployment period plus 60 days after their return. Follow this link for an electronic version of program brochure.
Enhanced Child Care Referral Service from LCSNW
Both programs receive an Enhanced Child Care Referral Service from Lutheran Community Services NW that provides military families with a high quality or licensed childcare referral list with age-appropriate vacancies. The Military Support Specialist will locate spaces and check age-appropriate vacancies in high quality childcare programs for the family, conduct a follow-up to ensure care has been found, and provide information about Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood or Operation: Military Child Care subsidies.
