Family Resources

The NIH Child Care Team understands the demands put upon families in today’s society. We strive to provide resources to support the families within the NIH community. The challenges of parenting, caring for an adult family member, and other family obligations, particularly while managing professional responsibilities, can be overwhelming. These resources are intended to provide a snapshot of programs and services available to the NIH community.
