Military Fee Assistance

Military families and DoD Army Civilians might be eligible to receive financial assistance to help offset the cost of off-post child care. Through the Military Fee Assistance program, a portion of the child care fees is paid to a qualifying child care provider or program.

In order to qualify for Military Fee Assistance, a child care center or family child care provider must be accredited or credentialed through a national organization that meets specific military requirements. During the child care search, LOCATE specialists identify which programs qualify for the Military Fee Assistance.
