What is "Federal Daycare"?

We've had an excellent experience at the military daycares and those are significantly cheaper and charge according to a sliding scale based on your income. Private daycare centers contracted by GSA for various federal gov't agencies are quite expensive. In fact, I found some of them a lot more expensive than the ones at non-federal offices. However, for many people, it's a huge convenience to have your children in daycare close or at your work location.

You won't have priority at a military base day care unless one spouse is active duty military.
I'm a DOD civilian, husband is a reservist, and we have basically no priority there and the list is long.

DHS, where my husband works, has no day care priority. Neither do DOD civilians.

so, you have to go to the back of line like everyone else or find a private day are for $2k a month. It's just awesome! lol
