Military Child Care
Streamline Your Care
Families at Buckley AFB now have access to a new Department of Defense (DoD) website that simplifies and improves the child care request for care process. MilitaryChildCare.com provides a single online gateway for families to access military-operated or military-subsidized child care options worldwide across all Services. The site enables families to create a household profile, conduct child care searches, submit requests for care, and manage their requests at any time and from any location.
Child Development Centers
There For You
Our practices are based on current knowledge of early childhood development and education. We support the development of the whole child. *Our programs acknowledge children learn through active, hands-on involvement with their environment, peers, and caring adults. We respect each child’s unique interests, experiences, abilities and needs. Children are valued as individuals, as well as part of a group.
Full-time care is provided for children six weeks old to five years old Monday – Friday 6:15 AM – 5:45 PM.
