The Minot Child Development Center (CDC) is an Accredited Program that provides care for children between the ages of 6 weeks and 6 years old. The CDC has implemented Creative Curriculum, a child centered curriculum system that focuses on the classroom and the home environment supporting the development of the child.
Family Child Care (FCC) provides valuable in-home child care services to support the families of Minot AFB. The FCC program offers quality care for children ranging from birth to 12 years of age by licensed, professional child care providers. Along with full-time, part-time, weekly, and hourly child care, FCC Providers offer care for weekends, evenings, shift work, newborn infants, TDY, PCS, special needs and before and after school. There are several free expanded child care programs available to families (Extended Duty Care, Missile Care and Returning Home Care).
FCC is the perfect choice for parents who want quality child care in a small group, home-like setting. The goal of the FCC program is to meet the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual needs of children while providing a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment for children. There are approximately 30 licensed FCC providers on the installation. The FCC program accepts children, employment of staff, and approval of providers with chronic health problems. This list can be obtained at several locations throughout the base, to include Housing, Airmen and Family Readiness Center, Civilian Personnel Office, 5 FSS Human Resource Office, Lodging, CDC, and FCC.
