Fort Moore Family Child Care (FCC) Program care is provided by a CYS trained and certified adult family member who operates their child care as a home based business. FCC homes are operated on the installation to meet the needs of our dispersed Fort Moore population. Parents are given the opportunity to interview, do a home visit and ultimately select their own FCC provider. Certified homes are monitored for health, safety, and quality of service by Army and CYS Proponents and meet the criterion for the USDA Food Program. Family child care offers a home setting with a small number of children in each home to suit the needs and preferences of some Families. In addition, Family Child Care can offer some flexibility by remaining open for extended hourly care, long term and drop-in service accept infants as young as 4 weeks of age. Just another quality child care option offered for Fort Benning Families.
