Family Child Care (FCC) providers are caring, thoughtful, military spouses who have gone through extensive background checks, training and inspections. Care is provided out of the home and care is limited to six children at any given time.
All providers are trained in:
- First Aid/CPR
- Child Development
- Health/Safety
- Recognizing Child Abuse/Neglect
FCC providers care for children of all ages and abilities. They accept children at various developmental stages and have individually appropriate activities and equipment for each child.
Extended Duty Care
Buckley now has Extended Duty Care for mission related work! In an effort to meet the needs of Active Duty personnel, the FCC Program offers extended care for longer hours, evenings, overnight, weekends and temporary shift change not to exceed three days. Families who are currently enrolled in the Child Development Centers, Family Child Care or School Age Program are eligible for extended duty care.

Subsidy is available!
Subsidies for child care are available, depending on Total Family Income (TFI). Providers have access to the FCC Resource Center for safety items, cribs, cots, toys, games, outdoor equipment, and general supplies. Having these resources available to providers greatly assists providers and eliminates the need for higher fees.
