Our programs acknowledge children learn through active, hands-on involvement with their environment, peers, and caring adults. Our program respects and supports the ideals, cultures, and values of families. We advocate for children, families, and the early childhood profession. Services offered at our locations include full-day care, before and after school care, and hourly child care on a space available basis. Visit militarychildcare.com to get started!

This is a secure Department of Defense (DoD) website used to request for care.

If you need to place a new request for care or are on an existing waitlist in the National Capital Region (including all branches of Service), all of your child care requests will now be placed and managed on MCC. Call Central Registration at 301-981-9981/9982 for more information.
