Child Care Aware® of America (CCAoA)

CCAoA works with a national network of more than 400 child care resource and referral (CCR&Rs) agencies and other partners to ensure that all families have access to quality, affordable child care. CCAoA also provides child care assistance for military families through Fee Assistance and Respite Child Care Programs.

Kinderspot's intent is to help facilitate short-term care for eligible families by giving visibility to available weeks that have been offered by verified spot holders at participating CDCs.

The Defense Department recognizes that child care is a critical support for military families with children. Our military parents cannot be focused and available for their missions without safe and reliable care in place for their children.
