Child Care

Ansbach Child Development Centers (CDC) have received DOD certification. We have 2 CDC buildings, on Katterbach Kaserne one for infants and pre-toddlers and one for toddlers, pre-school aged children and kindergarten aged children. For more information call 09802-83-2828 or DSN: 467-2828.

Family Child Care (FCC) homes may provide care for children 4 weeks to 12 year olds. Family Child Care is provided by DoD family members who have completed the required CYS Services training and whose homes have been inspected and licensed by fire, safety and health officials. Homes are located in government/leased housing. Each home can accommodate up to six children under age 12, including the provider’s own children. Family Child Care is a viable care option along with center-based childcare, offering the most flexible programs which can be tailored to meet the needs of Soldiers and Families. 

The Child Development Centers (CDC) offer full day care, 5 to 12 hours per day, for children from 6 weeks to 5 years old.  Part-time and reserved hourly care services are also available. For more information please call.

Website Provides Families a Single Online Gateway to the Military Child Care.

• Families at the United States Army Garrison Ansbach have access to a new Department of Defense (DOD) website, designed to simplify and improve the child care request for care process. MilitaryChildCare.com (MCC) provides a single online gateway for families to access military- operated or military-subsidized child care options worldwide across all Services.  The site enables families to create a household profile, conduct child care searches, submit requests for care, and manage their requests at any time and from any location.

Our centers offer before and after school child care and winter, spring and summer camps for youth in kindergarten through 5^th grade.  Services are also available on school out days at no extra charge.  Occasional hourly care services are also available.  Children at SAC have access to computer labs and can receive help on daily homework assignments.  Programs are nationally accredited and utilize standard curricula through formal partnerships with nationally-recognized organizations such as 4-H and Boys and Girls Clubs of America (BGCA).

Total Family Income: The Secretary of Defense prescribes regulations establishing fees shall be uniform for all Military Services and require that children attending Military Child Development Programs on a regular basis pay fees based on Total Family Income.

Family Fee Determination will occur during the CYSS registration process prior to enrollment in a regularly scheduled Full or Part Day Program.
