SPOTLIGHT ON ... Allied Marketing Group
MEREDITH STORM Commercial Sponsorship and Advertising Coordinator Allied Marketing Group has not had a presence at Fort Riley for very long, but they have made a big impact through their support of Family and MWR. You may have seen the allied team at the 2015 Fall Apple Day Festival. Maybe you tried to guess the amount growing on their popular “money tree” at the Easter Egg Hunt or Run for the Fallen. Wherever you have run into the staff from Allied Marketing Group, one thing is clear: Their dedication to the military community. “We love our military because they are our family members,” said Alionso Delfin, senior agent with AMG. “They are a father, a brother or a friend that has dedicated him or herself to the highest form. We sponsor them to say thank you in the only way we can, by giving back!” Next time you see Allied Marketing Group, take a moment say thanks for their support of Soldier and family programs through Family and MWR. They’ll be at Victory Celebration June 4 – stop by to say hello, and you might have a chance to win great prizes, too. *Sponsorship and advertising do not imply endorsement.

MCC will streamline the waitlist process for families finding and requesting child care MilitaryChildCare.com, a Department of Defense site designed to simplify and improve the child care request for care process, is scheduled to launch at Fort Riley June 30. Using MCC, eligible families can search and request care for full-day and part-day options in facility-based and home-based programs for children from birth through age 12. Families at Fort Riley who are currently on waitlists will be automatically transitioned to the new web-based system. These families will retain the original date of their request(s) for care, and all program enrollment processes will remain the same. For more information, please contact Parent Central Services at (785) 239-9885, or learn more about MCC at militarychildcare.com.
Personalized Profile
On militarychildcare.com, a profile stores basic information such as sponsor name, contact information, family type and child data. With this profile, you can conduct a customized search for a range of child care options, request care across services, submit unlimited requests for care, and remain on waitlists for a preferred program even after being offered care by another.
32 • The Guide • Summer 2016
MilitaryChildCare.com provides a single online gateway for families to access military-operated or military-subsidized child care options worldwide across all Services. The site enables families to create a household profile, conduct child care searches, submit requests for care, and manage their requests at any time and from any location. The site offers a more streamlined approach to finding and requesting care, expedites placement through a standardized request process and waitlist management tools, and provides reports that help programs better plan for future placement needs.
