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.

Become an FCC Provider

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.

FCC Rules and Regulations

The Army enforces policies, such as the 10-hour rule, to ensure child safety and prevent unauthorized childcare in government housing. This page explains the certification requirements, compliance guidelines and common questions.

Transferring Your FCC Business

FCC providers can transfer their business to their new duty station. This page details eligibility and the application process.

Resources and Support

Parents and providers can access important resources, including registration guidance, child development tools, and the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). This page links to helpful programs, forms and training materials.
