Surge Support Child Care Services
We understand that Minnesota's military families face tremendous challenges, some of which involve child care. We want to help!
Family members of Minnesota's deployed Army National Guard and Reserve are eligible to receive surge support child care services at no cost. Participating child care providers are volunteering up to four hours of surge support child care.
The Minnesota Child Care Resource and Referral Network is proud to be partnering with the National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies (NACCRA) and the U.S. Army to support families of Minnesota's deployed Army National Guard and Reserve.
"The fact that we could count on some help during such a difficult time for our family and country was worth more than I can say. It not only allowed me to have some time on my own to run errands or have a good cry. It allowed my kids some time for fun with a non-stressed adult. They used the time to finger-paint, play games, to be kids again."
— Dina Blandshew, Parent, Participant Operation Child Care
We will provide child care for NACCRA/ deployed MN National Guard and Reserve families on every third week of the month.
Please contact Antonio Smith at (763) 498-1799 for more information or to sign up for care.
