This report examines how the Coast Guard (1) compares to DOD in providing access to child care for its personnel, and (2) is working to increase access to quality child care through its programs. GAO analyzed data from the Coast Guard’s and DOD’s child care programs, including Fee Assistance program data from March 2022 (the most recent available) and Child Development Center and Family Child Care data from 2019 (for consistency with data previously reported by DOD). GAO also reviewed agency documentation and interviewed agency officials. (author abstract)
