On the Home Front

QUICK SUMMARY

Military parents with young children report that the need for early care and education services, including high-quality pre-kindergarten, tops their list of day-to-day needs. Frequent relocations and the cycle of deployment — preparation, separation and reunification — all cause disruptions that can have profound emotional and educational consequences for children in military households. This issue brief from Pre-K Now details the results of an Internet survey of 500 military households exploring the challenges facing military families with young children.
