Family Child Care (FCC)
Family Child Care programs provide child care in housing owned or leased by the government and under control of the installation commander. FCC providers are private contractors certified and monitored by the Command. Providing child care in government owned or leased quarters is a privilege extended to family members at the discretion of the installation commander. Hours of service, ages of children and types of services are established by individual providers. Options for care might include full day, part day, hourly, extended day or 24 hour care.
Off-base Family Child Care (OFCC) programs provide child care to eligible patrons in private homes located off the installation. Homes shall be registered with the local command and meet all requirements as established in an agreement between the installation and State and local officials. These requirements shall be no less stringent than on base FCC standards. Hours of service, ages of children and types of services are established by individual providers. Options for care may be similar to FCC.
