• This unique program for children, two-weeks through 12 years of age, offers parents a variety of options to include full-time, part-time, hourly shift work, and TDY with care for infants and children with special needs.
• While care is provided in a small ratio, providers promote well-planned activities to enhance the child’s physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development. A convenient loan service enables providers to check out toys and supplies from the program's Lending Library.
• FCC providers can participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program and receive a monthly reimbursement according to the numbers of meals served. The provider can claim reimbursement for her own children up to 8 years of age, if the family’s income meets eligibility requirements for free or reduced priced meals. Assistance in purchasing home liability insurance is also available. Click here to learn how to become a Family Child Care Provider.
