The Family Child Care (FCC) program provides quality, home-based childcare for military families on Army garrisons. FCC providers offer care for children aged 4 weeks to 12 years in government-owned and government-leased housing on post.
FCC homes provide a flexible and affordable childcare option. Parents can choose full-day, part-day, hourly, evening, overnight or weekend care based on their needs.

Military spouses and family members can run their own family childcare business from home through the FCC program. Providers receive training, certification and support while earning income and offering a vital service to military families.
