Family Child Care has permanently relocated to

Child Development Center 1 • Building 2579

(Previously known as the “Bubble Building.”)

FCC home operation is governed by Air Force Regulations to ensure a safe, healthy, quality-care environment for children. Certified homes are checked daily for health and safety hazards. Unannounced monthly and quarterly inspections are conducted to ensure that AF guidelines are continually met. Safety devices are required and provided by the FCC program. Base agencies such as Fire and Public Health conduct initial and re-certification inspections of homes annually.

FCC provides twenty-four hours of required training annually to each provider. Training also includes child growth and development, health and safety guidelines, nutrition, food handling, identifying and reporting child abuse, CPR/First Aid, and business practices. Additionally, providers are required to complete mandatory training in 13 functional areas of child development that supports accreditation through the National Association of Family Child Care (NAFCC) organization. These providers offer the highest quality child care available.

The FCC office sponsors the USDA food care program in providers’ homes. Meals are available at no separate charge to eligible children participating in the program. Nutritionally balanced rotating menus are pre-approved by our USDA food program monitor. In addition to the routine inspection, an unannounced inspection of the food program in each home is conducted quarterly.
