Infants and children up to 12 years of age may receive care in the private home of a certified Family Child Care (FCC) provider living on or off the installation. FCC providers typically offer a flexible schedule to support parents with a variety of care needs. These include full-day care, part-day care, school year care, summer camp, and in some cases, 24/7 and extended care. Family Child Care may also be referred to as family home day care, child development home, and family day care.
Regulations limit the number of children who receive care at any one time to no more than six children under 8 years old, and no more than two children under 2 years old. Family Child Care providers must be certified by the installation to operate. 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.

Subsidies may be available in some Family Child Care homes to assist in the reduction of child care fees beyond what would be paid in an Air Force Child Development Center (CDC). For more information on fee assistance and subsidies for child care providers, visit ChildCareAware.org.
