At least 50% of the enrollment population must be children of Federal employees, with preference given to Department of Defense affiliates.

All Department of Defense (active duty) and civilian affiliates qualify for DoD rates for their children, stepchildren, or wards. For this purpose, a parent is defined as the biological father or mother for a child; a person who, by order of the court of competent jurisdiction, has been declared the father or mother of a child adoption; the legal guardian of a child; or a person in whose household resides, provided such person in loco parentis to that child and contributes at least one-half of the child's support.
