Child Care Programs on the Installation
******Due to the lack of off-base child care facilities, it is highly recommended you take action on child care issues before PCSing to Ramstein. Both Child Development Centers and School Age Care programs have waiting lists. We encourage you to place your child/children on the appropriate waiting list through your sponsor or by contacting the CDC as soon as you receive orders. You can also check them out online through the 86th Force Support Squadron website, click on Airmen and Family Services.
