Month of the Military Child Military children make up a very special part of our nation's population. There are approximately four million military children. Although young, these brave sons and daughters stand in steadfast support of their military parents. The following are just a few of the challenges military children face: moving and starting over on an average of every 1-3 years, attending 6-9 different schools from kindergarten through 12th grade, and multiple deployments of a parent. Throughout all of this, military children are resilient and patriotic. To honor their unique contributions and sacrifices on behalf of our country, in 1986 Caspar Weinberger declared April as the Month of the Military Child. Military children will be honored and celebrated all over the world. When military members and Department of Defense (DoD) personnel are confident that their children are safe and in good care, they can better concentrate on fulfilling their military and defense support responsibilities. That’s why our nationally recognized Child and Youth Programs, serving infants through 18-year-olds, are here to make sure high-quality and affordable childcare and recreational programs are readily available for military and DoD families at Naval Base Kitsap.
