How can I become an FCC Provider?
All FCC Providers must register with CYS Services and be certified prior to opening their home for childcare. Certification classes are held quarterly.Family Child Care homes on post are an alternative to center-based care. These homes offer child care services to children whose parents have irregular duty hours, children who need a small group setting, and those preferring care in a home setting. FCC providers follow CYS Services fees for the childcare services they render. Providers and parents sign a contract agreeing on fees, hours of care to be provided and terms of payment. Parents considering this option should contact the FCC office for an orientation prior to signing the legally binding contract with an individual FCC provider.
