Listen now
Description
Defense Department child care programs have expanded access to quality, flexible child care for military families through fee assistance and options that recognize and respond to the unique challenges of military life. A previous episode about Child Care in Your Home outlined how this program meets those needs and challenges by putting decisions about child care in the hands of parents who want quality care in their homes. In this episode, Host Bruce Moody speaks with Maria Quinn, lieutenant colonel for the U.S. Space Force Chief, Wargaming Team, and Marci George, program analyst for Child and Youth Programs with the Office of Military Community and Family Policy. Lt. Col. Quinn’s family was the first to benefit from this program, and she talks about her experience with CCYH as a service member and parent, adding valuable insights and perspective in this informative follow-up to the first CCYH podcast: https://www.militaryonesource.mil/resources/podcasts/military-onesource/child-care-in-your-home-fee-assistance-pilot-program/ Visit Military OneSource at https://www.militaryonesource.mil/resources/millife-guides/child-care/ to learn about the resources and support available to service members and families.
