Family Child Care (FCC) is offered at certified homes on the post. In these homes, children are cared for in a limited number, with hours being more flexible and siblings kept together. The FCC provider gives an atmosphere that is closest to the child's own home. Full day, part day, hourly, weekend and extra care is available when needed. These at home Child Care Providers are often the self-employed spouses living in on-post housing. Certification classes are given monthly on-post to become a At Home Child Care Provider. Individuals caring for children in their quarters for more than 10 hours per week on a regular basis must be certified.
