Every April, Child Care Aware® of America celebrates the Month of the Military Child, recognizing the tenacity and resilience of military children. Military children and families make sacrifices and must overcome many challenges, especially as it relates to child care. Many military families live off-base and face the same challenges as civilians—finding the quality, affordable child care that the military demands and all children should receive. CCAoA is entrusted by the military to help solve this problem and we are proud to support our military and their families!
