SCHOOL LIAISON PROGRAM 2034 Barnett Ave., 703.784.4729, [email protected] The SLP is a great resource for military families with children in grades K-12. This program assists military families with information and resources on Virginia K-12 education. In addition to family services, SLP collaborates with different schools in the area to support their mission of educating both military and civilian students. SLP also works closely with the Virginia Department of Education to improve policies affecting the education and graduation rates of incoming military students. The Quantico School Liaison Program services families with students attending Quantico Base schools, Fredericksburg City, Spotsylvania County, Stafford County, and Prince William County schools. Partners in Education (PIE) - Volunteer Opportunities The PIE Program is an initiative that enhances the connections between the military, schools, and the civilian community, and helps military children/youth succeed in school, be better prepared for the future, and fit in their local community. Working as a team, educators, and military professionals can provide the most precious resource: An enriching education experience for mobile military children/youth. This joint effort becomes a “win-win” situation for both parties with the ultimate winner being the military children/ youth. If you are interested in volunteering for local school events, please sign up for various volunteer opportunities in [email protected] CHILD AND YOUTH PROGRAMS YC: 3312 Purvis Rd. 703.784.2249 CDC N: 3311 Purvis Rd. 703.784.4470 CDC S: 3314 Purvis Rd. 703.784.3652 Family Child Care If you are in need of off base child care and do not have access to an on-base child care provider, usa.childcareaware.org is a good place to start.
