Fort Liberty  Child and Youth Services

Children ages 4 weeks to 12 years may receive care in the private home of a certified family child care provider living in government-owned or leased housing. Family child care is typically available weekdays and with additional care provided during evenings, weekends and flexible hourly care for shift work. Regulations limit the number of children who receive care at any one time to no more than six children under age 8 and no more than two children under age 2. Family child care providers must be certified to operate by the installation. Individual providers may voluntarily seek national accreditation from the National Association of Family Child Care and are provided local support, training and materials to accomplish this goal.

FCC offers developmental and age-appropriate child care in a home setting for children 4 weeks to 12 years of age. This program is for those who are interested in small group care in a family atmosphere. Bilingual and multi-cultural homes available. All FCC homes are inspected by health, fire and safety proponents. Types of care include: long term, before and after school, special needs, extended, overnight and hourly.
