Childcare
The Navy Child Placement Program exists to help parents find care for their children. The greatest demand for care in this area is for children under two years old. The Navy provides care through Child Development Centers (CDC) and Child Development Homes (CDH). CDH care is provided in the home of the provider. The cost, training, program and nutrition are the same in a CDC and CDH. Infants must be at least six weeks old to receive care.
Priority for care goes to dual active duty military parents, single active duty parents, active duty parents with a full time working spouse and active duty parents with a full time student spouse. Hourly, drop in care may be available but you will have to call your local center to find out. Children will have to be registered for this.
Expectant mothers may submit an application for child care in Navy Child Development Centers and Child Development Homes. The application will be processed and your name place on the Tier 1 list or inactive waiting list. You must notify the Child Placement Program within 30 days of the birth of your child
You will then be moved to the Tier 2 list or active waiting list. Your position on this list depends upon the date of the application, not the date of birth. If you fail to notify them, they will assume you have child care arrangements and remove you from the waiting lists. Applications are available at the Education Station in each OB clinic and may be dropped off at any Child Development Center or the Child Placement Program Office.
The current cost for infant care is $135 per week. This cost will be reduced based upon your family income. When you accept a slot, you will have to pay for two weeks of care up front. $50 of this is a non-refundable deposit. The deposit is applied toward the cost of care. Example, an E-3 single mom may pay $60 per week. When she accepts the slot, she will have to pay $120 with $50 being the nonrefundable deposit. If you are offered a slot and refuse it, you will be removed from the waiting list.
The Child Placement Program also has a 24 hour, 7 day a week facility near Naval Station Norfolk for parents working shifts.
