Requesting Childcare

Child Care Aware of America

Child Care Aware of America supports military families through the Child Care Fee Assistance Programs, helping parents find and choose quality child care in communities across the United States. The program provides resources to locate eligible providers and offers financial subsidies for qualifying military dependents enrolled in approved commercial child care programs.

Subsidy amounts are based on total family income for eligible Navy families, and payments are sent directly to the participating child care provider.

For assistance finding eligible child care, learning more about military child care programs, or getting help selecting quality care, call 1-800-424-2246, option 6, Monday–Friday, 8 AM–7 PM Eastern Time, or visit the Child Care Aware website.
