Abstract
The Military Child Care Act of 1989 and subsequent policies related to military childcare programs offer installations multiple options for providing childcare services to their supported communities. While the Presidio of Monterey (POM) has provided childcare services to the POM military community using the on-post Child Development Center (CDC) and Family Child Care (FCC) program for over two decades, it has never evaluated whether this is the most efficient option to provide these services. Using a cost benefit analysis, this project compares using commercial providers supported by federal subsidies to the status quo, namely CDC and FCC. The analysis shows that the status quo provides a higher net benefit to the POM military community than does the alternative.
