Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood (MCCYN) Fee Assistance Program
Military families may be eligible to receive fee assistance to attend the COMO’s COMO Kids Before and After School program and Doris Muller Preschool through the MCCYN. MCCYN is a fee assistance program for eligible families who cannot access military-operated child care due to distance or waitlists. A portion of your child care costs may be paid to offset the costs of community-based care. For more information, please visit the Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood Website.
