Readiness, Retention and Diversity and Inclusion: The Air Force Military Child Care Program

Abstract

The current Military Child Care Program (MCCP) does not meet the diverse needs of females within the military work force. To retain females in order to increase readiness, the Air Force must focus on reforming areas within the MCCP to meet 21stcentury demands. To enable this change, the Air Force must request Congressional support for military construction funding, seek ways to centrally fund the MCCPs Morale Welfare and Recreation funds permanently, increase the Child Care Aware of America subsidy, and legitimize the use of Au Pairs as a form of subsidized care. By doing so, this will allow military service to be a more attractive a career for females thereby, increasing diversity and force readiness.
