Seeking Child Care Professionals

FAMILY CHILD CARE LICENSE/AFFILIATION APPLICATION

Are you interested in starting your own business? Would you like to earn up to $1,200 for one weekend of work per month? The FCC staff will train and help you provide responsible, safe, in-home care for children 2 weeks to 12 years in your government home or affiliated off-base home. If you live in North/Central housing the licensing process can take as little as 1 month!

After you complete a basic orientation program, you can begin to provide care for children on an hourly, part-time, full-time, evening, weekends and or opt to become part of the Expanded Child Care Program! In addition, you can choose to care for children with special needs, infants, toddlers, preschoolers and or school age; up to 6 children in care at any one time with no more than 2 children under the age of 2 years.

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.

Join the Community Child Care Coordinator for a Virtual Informational Chat at 1pm the second Wednesday of the month. Contact the Coordinator for meeting information.

Family Child Care Expanded Programs

Programs offered by Patrick SFB Family Child Care

    Home Community Care (HCC)

    The HCC Program is designed to provide child care for those members of the Guard and Reserves (CAT A and B) during their regularly scheduled, or properly re-scheduled, drill periods. This care is for Training Periods and Unit Training Assemblies only. Other forms of inactive Duty training (e.g. RMPs and AFTPs) do not qualify for HCC. In addition, individuals on active duty orders (e.g. AT, ADOS, MPA or RPA) do not qualify for HCC.

    AF FCC ECC form

    Eligibility requirements:

    • Member of the Military Service
    • Reserve or Guard
    • Assigned to an Air Force Guard or Reserve Unit/Installation
    • No other adult in the household available to provide care
    • AF Form 40As must be provided for Rescheduled Drills
    • Completed AF FCC ECC Request

    Enrollment of Children with exceptionalities

    When applying for care, registering for a program or currently participating, if a child/youth is identified as having a disability, medical condition or specific need, CYP personnel and FCC providers will work with the family to determine if an Inclusion Action Team (IAT) meeting is needed. The case will be reviewed as soon as possible to ensure environments, accommodations and any training required are in place before the child/youth starts.

    Assistance with Child Care Needs and Fee Assistance

    Community Based Child Care, Early Learning Coalition and/or Fee Assistance programs may be available to assist CONUS families who do not have access to installation programs through the Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood, a military and DoD fee assistance program run by Child Care Aware of America. 

    For any family needing assistance in locating a community child care program or local fee assistance, visit Early Learning Coalition, the Brevard County Child Care resource and referral program.

    For more Department of the Air Force and Space Force child care programs, visit the S1Q Quality of Life channel.
