Active-Duty Soldiers, National Guard and Army Reservists activated on Title 10 or Title 32 orders for more than 30 consecutive days, Army civilian employees, and Army Gold Star spouses.
At O2B Kids, we're honored to support our military families through the Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood (MCCYN) program!
MCCYN is a Department of Defense and U.S. Coast Guard fee assistance program for military families, bridging the gap for families who can't access military-operated child care services due to distance or waitlists.
With this program, a portion of your child's preschool costs are covered, making it easier for your family to afford a quality preschool in your community.
To qualify for the MCCYN program, families must meet the following criteria:
Active-Duty Soldiers, National Guard and Army Reservists activated on Title 10 or Title 32 orders for more than 30 consecutive days, Army civilian employees, and Army Gold Star spouses.
Stationed at an installation pre-identified as fee assistance eligible or residing outside a 15-mile radius of a DoD installation with a Child & Youth program.
If you're married or have a domestic partner, they must be employed, actively seeking employment, or be a student.
For divorced or unmarried couples, your child must live with their sponsor at least 25% of the time during the month that care is provided.
Families living within 15 miles of an installation not pre-identified as fee assistance eligible, but who are still unable to access on-base care, can submit a request for fee assistance.
You can take advantage of MCCYN if you're stationed somewhere that your service has identified as having a long wait list, or if you're stationed somewhere that doesn't have a child or youth program.
You can choose your own qualified provider, like O2B Kids, or find a program that is already participating in MCCYN. Once you apply, MCCYN can cover a portion of your child care costs!
Visit MilitaryChildCare.Com and create an account. From there you can search for O2B Kids and input your specific needs and dates!
You should apply as soon as you know where you'll be stationed. You can apply before your orders are issued--you can always make changes later.
