Child Care Fees Assistance Options for Military Families

August 27, 2024

The DSS Division of Early Care and Education is proud to partner with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to provide Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood-PLUS (MCCYN-PLUS), a program offering affordable, accessible child care options to military families.

MCCYN-PLUS offers fee assistance to eligible military and DoD civilian families when on-base child care is unavailable or if families do not live near base. This gives families a sense of ease when searching for high-quality child care.

The program is eligible for active-duty military personnel, National Guard members, reservists, and DoD civilian personnel.

Families can choose eligible licensed child care and family home programs that have at least a B+ rating through ABC Quality, South Carolina's quality rating and improvement system.

Families can sign up for MCCYN-PLUS here.
