You can make a difference...

At minimal start-up cost to you, you can operate your own home-based business, set your own hours, be with your children and care for other children at home. The FCC staff will train and help you provide responsible, safe, in-home care for children 2 weeks to 13 years in your government home or affiliated off-base home.

Far from a simple baby-sitting service, the FCC Program is looking for individuals who wish to be child-care professionals. You must be 18 years of age or older, able to speak English, in good mental and physical health and willing to undergo a comprehensive background check. After you complete a basic orientation program, you can set your own hours and fees and begin to care for children on an hourly, part-day, full-day or extended basis.

The FCC Program will accept children, employed staff, and approved family child care providers with chronic health problems unless their enrollment, job requirements, or providing care would endanger their health or that of others.

Are you living off-base and interested in becoming an affiliated provider?
Affiliated Program - An Affiliated Provider is someone who cares for children (ages 2 weeks through 12 years old) in their home off base. At least one of the children cared for must be a dependent of an active duty military or a retired military family member, live off base within a 20 mile radius of Patrick AFB and be at least 18 years of age with a high school diploma. To be affiliated with Patrick AFB FCC you must be certified or registered with the Department of Environmental Health Services. However, if you live in leased homes at Pelican Coast, you are not required to be registered with the DOHS.

Air Force Aid Society Child Care for PCS - 20 hours of free child care. Certificates issued by the Airmen and Family Readiness Center at Patrick AFB.

The Air Force brought down the cost of child care - The Subsidy Program offers parents the opportunity to pay what they would pay if their child attended the Child Development Center. FCC providers must be enrolled in this program to be eligible.

Family Child Care is located in Bldg 1391
