Case Study: Operation Child Care Project – Empowering Military Families with Victor + Valor’s Support



Operation Child Care Project

Kayla’s Vision: Providing Crucial Childcare Resources for Military Families

When Kayla, the founder of Operation Child Care Project, reached out to Victor + Valor®, she had a big mission ahead of her. The goal of her organization was clear: help active duty and veteran families find reliable and affordable childcare resources. As a military spouse, Kayla understood the unique struggles faced by military families when it came to finding childcare, and she wanted to make sure that no family had to worry about leaving their children in the care of someone who didn’t understand the demands of military life.


But as Kayla worked to bring this vision to life, she quickly realized that her nonprofit, while powerful, needed more than just passion to succeed—it needed a strong brand presence, a cohesive social media strategy, and an organized plan to engage clients, volunteers, and donors. Kayla was deeply committed to the cause, but she simply didn’t have the bandwidth to manage the intricacies of building a recognizable brand while maintaining the day-to-day operations of the project.

That’s when Victor + Valor® stepped in.



The Challenges: Building a Brand from the Ground Up

While Operation Child Care Project was already making an incredible impact by helping military families, the organization faced several challenges in scaling its operations and spreading the word about the resources available to military families:

  • Building Brand Awareness: Kayla’s organization needed to be recognized and trusted by both military families and donors. However, without a strong brand presence and a unified message, it was difficult to reach a wider audience.

  • Creating a Social Media Strategy: Kayla’s mission was huge, but she didn’t have the time or expertise to design a comprehensive social media strategy that would connect with her clients, volunteers, and donors. A strategy was necessary to not only raise awareness but also build trust with key audiences.

  • Managing Operations and Marketing Simultaneously: With so many people depending on the resources and services provided by Operation Child Care Project, Kayla was stretched thin between managing her volunteers, working with military families, and promoting the nonprofit.


Kayla’s passion for the mission was clear, but she needed strategic guidance and support to build out the brand and effectively market her services.



Victor + Valor® Steps In: Bringing the Vision to Life

At Victor + Valor®, we immediately saw the potential in Operation Child Care Project. We understood that Kayla’s mission was not only important—it was life-changing for military families. We were eager to help her refine her brand and marketing strategy so that Operation Child Care Project could make a lasting impact.


Here’s how Victor + Valor® helped Operation Child Care Project overcome these challenges:

  1. Brand Strategy and Visual Identity: We started by working with Kayla to define the brand and develop a brand strategy that clearly communicated the mission and values of Operation Child Care Project. We also worked on creating brand visuals that would resonate with military families and donors alike. By focusing on the emotional connection and the impact that quality childcare could have on military families, we ensured that the brand’s visual identity aligned with the heart of Kayla’s mission.

  2. Website Launch and Content Creation: With the foundation in place, we helped Kayla build a new website for Operation Child Care Project. The website not only reflected the organization's mission but also provided a platform for families to easily access childcare resources and connect with the nonprofit. We also worked with Kayla to create content that would engage volunteers, donors, and clients, ensuring they understood the incredible work the organization was doing.

  3. Social Media and Marketing Strategy: We developed a comprehensive social media strategy for Operation Child Care Project that would help the organization reach both local and national audiences. By creating a content calendar, identifying key messages, and implementing a targeted outreach plan, we helped Kayla expand her online presence and engage with potential supporters. Our team worked alongside Kayla to execute the strategy, generating greater awareness and interest in the organization’s mission.

  4. Ongoing Support: We didn’t just help launch the brand and develop strategies—we continued to work alongside Kayla and the team, providing ongoing support and guidance as the organization scaled. From creating new initiatives to launching new partnerships, Victor + Valor® has been there to ensure that the brand remains strong, and its impact continues to grow.



The Future: Scaling the Impact Across the U.S.

As 2025 approaches, Operation Child Care Project is on track to expand its reach and support even more military families across the United States. With a stronger brand presence and marketing strategy in place, Kayla and her team are ready to launch several new initiatives aimed at providing more resources and building an even stronger community for military families.


Here’s what’s on the horizon for Operation Child Care Project:

  • Expansion of Resources: With the website now functioning as a central hub for military families, Operation Child Care Project plans to offer even more resources, including educational content, webinars, and workshops aimed at supporting military families as they navigate the complex childcare landscape.

  • National Initiatives and Partnerships: The team is excited to expand its reach by partnering with corporations, foundations, and other organizations that share their mission. These partnerships will allow Operation Child Care Project to provide even more support to families nationwide.

  • Retreats and Networking Events: Kayla plans to host retreats and networking events for military families to connect, share stories, and learn more about the resources available to them. These events will also serve as a fundraising opportunity, ensuring the organization can continue to grow.

  • Increased Volunteer and Donor Engagement: As the organization grows, Operation Child Care Project will focus on engaging more volunteers and donors to expand its mission and reach. Kayla is committed to ensuring that every military family has access to the resources they need, and she is excited about the possibility of partnering with more individuals who want to give back.
