Ask about your Command Ombudsman
An Ombudsman is an official representative of the Commanding Officer and
plays a vital role in establishing and maintaining current and accurate
communication between the command and its family members.
Ombudsman Roles
The Ombudsman is a volunteer, appointed by the commanding officer, to serve
as an information link between command leadership and Navy
families. Ombudsmen are trained to disseminate information both up and down
the chain of command, including official Department of the Navy and command
information, command climate issues, local quality of life (QOL) improvement
opportunities and “good deals” around the community.
Ombudsman also provide resource referrals when needed. They are
instrumental in resolving family issues before the issues require extensive
command attention.
The Navy Family Ombudsman Program promotes healthy, self-reliant families.
Join us and share a piece of
your culture with other
foreign spouses.
Here you’ll find: friendships, mentorships,
resources, employment and volunteerism,

The Department of Defense takes great pride in the variety and quality of services provided to children and youth on installations worldwide. While the services provided may vary by location, the standards and quality of services are consistent and meet established regulations.
Child development centers
Child development centers generally offer child care for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years. Care is available Monday through Friday, with some locations offering options, such as extended hours, weekend care and respite care. Child development centers vary in size and larger installations may operate multiple facilities. Programs are certified by the Department of Defense and accredited by a national accrediting body, such as the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Family Child Care (FCC)/ Child Development Homes (CDH)
Children ages 6 weeks to 12 years may receive care in the private home of a certified care provider living in government-owned or leased housing. Care may also be provided in a state-licensed home in the community. In-home child care is typically available weekdays and with additional care provided during evenings, weekends and flexible hourly care for shift work. Regulations limit the number of children who receive care at any one time to no more than six children under age 8 and no more than two children under age 2. Family child care/ CDH providers must be certified to operate by the installation. Individual providers may voluntarily seek national accreditation from the National Association of Family Child Care and are provided local support, training and materials to accomplish this goal.
School-age programs
School-age programs provide care to children in kindergarten through sixth grade. Care is offered before and after school, during non-school days and summer vacations. School-age programs may be located in Department of Defense youth centers, child development centers or in other suitable facilities. All programs are certified by the Department of Defense and accredited by a national accrediting body, such as the Council on Accreditation.
Youth programs
Dynamic programs for youth ages 5 through 18 years are provided in approximately 300 youth and teen program facilities worldwide. A wide variety of offerings includes activities in physical fitness and sports, the arts, life skills, career and volunteer opportunities. Installation programs may also collaborate with other youth-serving organizations, like the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and USDA/4-H programs.
Waiting lists
Military families may be placed on a waiting list for child care when care is not available. Families may request child care by visiting MilitaryChildCare.com. This Department of Defense website serves all military families seeking child care and provides access to military-operated child care options world-wide. Families may search for and request care, manage their requests, and update their profile online, making it easier for them to find the child care they need.
