FAMILY CHILD CARE (FCC): Includes child care for those children best served within a small group or home setting. FCC homes offer a full range of hourly, full-day, and part-day care. These homes are of particular value to sponsors whose hours exceed those of center-based programs. FCC providers are private contractors certified and monitored by CDS. Because FCC providers are private contractors, they may develop some of their own policies/procedures which should be contained in a written contract. Provider referrals are made through the Outreach Services office (938-4458) in building 1207. Contact the Director’s office at 938-6170, if interested in becoming a FCC provider.
OUTREACH SERVICES (OS): Provides centralized enrollment and waiting lists for all child, youth and teen programs, resource/referral for child care on and off post, teen baby-sitter training, extended hours care, special center openings and Short-Term Alternate Child Care (STACC) at approved sites other than the CDC, when groups cannot be accommodated in the CDC. Contact the Director’s office at (938-3921) for further information. Call the OS office at 938-4458 to make an appointment for registration.
All patrons must be registered with the OS office to utilize any CDS or SAS programs. Please contact 938-4458 to make an appointment
