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?
