The event was held at Fayetteville Technical Community College, and they discussed the challenges that military families face when it comes to childcare services. “It truly takes a village to raise a child, and for our military families, that village must include strong cross-sector collaboration. When one person serves, the entire family serves—and that’s why we are committed to ensuring military children have access to quality childcare. By removing barriers to childcare, we support the well-being of families and strengthen the readiness and resilience of our force,” said NCDMVA Secretary Jocelyn Mitnaul Mallette.
