Secretary of Defense Mark Esper
.
The changes take effect June 1.
Not only does the new policy give these families priority, it would allow officials to displace children who are already in a
child development program
, whose parents are in a lower priority category, if the military family is expected to be on a wait list for more than 45 days after the time they need child care.
