To meet the demands of a national shortage in daycare providers, Air Force officials in 2022 began providing direct-care employees a 100-percent child care fee waiver for their first child enrolled in installation child development programs.

According to hiring officials, whether starting your career in child care or if you already have experience, child and youth development centers have positions available at all levels.

Earlier this year, the Hanscom AFB CDC once again earned accreditation through the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
