Family Child Care (FCC) is a quality alternative to center-based childcare, which is provided by spouses of active duty military members in their government-owned or leased housing. The Family Child Care Office and other base agencies certify both the individual providing services and the occupied quarters. Each home is monitored on a monthly basis by the Family Child Care Coordinators. There are also unannounced visits by representatives from fire, safety, public health and other related base agencies.
