More Book Details

Description of the Book:

The General Accounting Office (GAO) reviewed the need for child care facilities for civilian employees at seven Department of Defense installations. The GAO was charged with: (1) determining the current availability of work-site child care services for civilian employees at the installations; and (2) surveying employees at McClellan Air Force Base and Fort Sam Houston to determine how many would be likely to use an on-base child care center. In response to the first charge, interviews were held with officials of the Department of Defense, the military installations, and employee unions. In response to the second charge, McClellan and Fort Sam Houston civilian work forces were surveyed. The GAO also interviewed local and national child care experts and operators of work-site day care centers, and reviewed research on child care issues. The review found that little information had been developed on the issues. Civilian employees’ access to child care services at the seven installations varied.

Six of the installations had child care centers for children of military personnel. Although military child care centers served children of civilian employees when space was available, military dependents had priority. Additional findings are discussed and related materials are appended. (RH
