70 DECEMBER 2024 | THE FOREIGN SERVICE JOURNAL EDUCATION SUPPLEMENT From Preschool to College Every year, GCLO updates and distributes the Overseas Child Care Report (OCR), a snapshot of options for nannies, daycare, preschool, and summer camps available at overseas posts. This report is compiled by community liaison office coordinators (CLOs) at post and is meant to be a starting point for employees and their families to research options; it includes contact information for facilities used by families at that post, programs available, estimated cost of attendance, and more. Contact GCLOAskEducation@state. gov or the CLO at post to request a copy. Your CLO can also connect you to other families who can provide feedback about these facilities. The OCR is one of several reports available in the Overseas Briefing Center’s Post Info to Go (PITG) report, an extensive bidding resource tool that provides information about life at each post. Employees and family members can request access to PITG by emailing PostInfoToGoExternal@state.gov. Transitioning Overseas and Back to D.C. Heading back to D.C. for language training or an assignment? GCLO’s childcare webpage provides information on preschools and daycare facilities in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, including at the Foreign Service Institute and near Main State. It also includes links to free preschools in Washington, D.C., as well as summer camp options. Supporting children during transitions from school to school and post to post The education and youth team functions as a central resource connecting FS members to partner offices that can help answer questions and guide clients.
