Eglin providers offer care for a number of children and their families on a daily basis, setting their own hours and fees while providing care for children 2 weeks to 12 years of age, including full time, part time, hourly drop ins, weekend, evening and overnight care, special needs, PCS, expanded duty, deployment, and subsidized (reduced fee) care. FCC providers have the opportunity to stay at home with their own children, contribute to the family income, and operate their own business while supporting the military mission. FCC providers are secure in the knowledge that they are offering a valuable service to AF communities!

Parents will find a balance of active play and quiet activities, as well as outdoor play. Activities and experiences that support learning such as drawing, painting, listening to music, story telling, table/floor games, cooking, large-motor play, etc. are conducted daily in the homes. Providers are trained using the same curriculum as the staff at the Eglin Child Development Centers.

Persons interested in a career as a Family Child Care provider can obtain licensing through the FCC office.
