Child Care

Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) Child and Youth Programs provide Child Development and recreational services for children 6 weeks to 12 years of age. CDC 1 (202-767-2890) provides full day and part day care for children 6 weeks to Kindergarten.  The School Age Center provides care to children in kindergarten through seventh grade. Care is offered before and after school, and during non-school days (e.g. spring break and teacher work days) and summer vacations. School-age care programs may be located in Defense Department youth centers, school age care facilities, child development centers or in other suitable facilities. All programs are certified by the DOD and accredited by a national accrediting body, such as the Council on Accreditation.

Family Child Care (FCC) provides a small group setting in a home environment at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling. It is a great choice for families who prefer a family style setting over a child care center for their child care needs. It is also a great option for children with difficulty functioning in large groups or with special needs.

FCC providers are the only on-base option for child care during the evening, night, and weekend hours. It is a vitally important part of the community for parents who do shift work on base.

There is a group size limit of six children, ranging in age from two weeks through twelve years (or older for children with special needs). The providers own children under age eight are included in this limit. Providers can only have two children under two years of age at a time.
