Family Child Care (FCC) is a quality
alternative to center-based childcare, which is provided by spouses of
active duty military members in their government owned or leased housing.
The Family Child Care Office and other base agencies certify both the
individual providing services and the occupied quarters. Each home is
monitored on a monthly basis by the Family Child Care Coordinators. There
are also unannounced visits by representatives from fire, safety, public
health and other related base agencies.
The FCC philosophy is to nurture the child through care, understanding,
love and affection. We believe in providing a relaxed atmosphere where a
child can develop to his/her full potential. We encourage children to grow
intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally through a daily
routine of play and recreation. FCC further believes that the child’s
world should be as happy and as free of fears and pressures as possible.
All individuals interested in becoming a licensed FCC provider must apply
and be approved before they are licensed to provide childcare. All
applicants must be at least 18 years of age, possess a high school diploma
or GED equivalent, have the ability to read, speak and write English, be
physically and mentally capable of providing care, be willing to complete
the required training and have the ability to obtain the required insurance.
In addition, background checks are completed on all individuals living in
the home who are over 12 years of age.
The next step in becoming a licensed provider is to complete a basic
orientation training that includes child development, child guidance
techniques, working in a multi-age setting, fire safety procedures, safety
procedures, health procedures, business practices, child abuse
identification and reporting and First Aid and CPR. All classes offered
through the FCC office are free of charge.

Each licensed FCC home is distinguished with the
following sign placed
in the front door or window. Fees and hours of operation are a matter of private negotiation between
providers and parents. Providers are required to maintain training standards throughout the
entire time they are licensed. The FCC program offers equal opportunities to staff, children and
providers. We accept individuals into our program of various backgrounds,
religious affiliations and those with chronic health problems. The FCC
program also affiliates state licensed providers who are family members of
active duty or retired military members.
