Our model aligns with the Department of Defense (DoD) fee structure, keeping care affordable for families. Parent contributions are designed to stay at or below 7% of household income while maintaining the high-quality environment every child deserves—made possible through a coordinated effort between state, philanthropic, and industry partners.

​

Built specifically for service-connected families, Fort Firefly offers care that meets the realities of the job—not a traditional schedule. We provide extended hours from early morning through late evening based on family need, along with availability during military drill weekends.

​

Inside the center, children experience high-quality, child-centered learning environments, while families have access to wraparound support through our integrated Resource Hub—further strengthened by partnerships that connect families to the services they need.

​

This approach goes beyond child care. It strengthens child development, supports workforce participation and retention, and reflects what’s possible when public, private, and community partners come together to support families.
