Family Child Care (FCC) provides a small group setting in a home environment at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling. It is a great choice for families who prefer a family style setting over a child care center for their child care needs. It is also a great option for children with difficulty functioning in large groups or with special needs.
FCC providers are the only on-base option for child care during the evening, night, and weekend hours. It is a vitally important part of the community for parents who do shift work on base.
There is a group size limit of six children, ranging in age from two weeks through twelve years (or older for children with special needs). The providers own children under age eight are included in this limit. Providers can only have two children under two years of age at a time.

AFI 34-144 requires individuals in family housing (military or privatized) who provide child care in their home for more that 10 child care hours per week to be a licensed provider. A child care hour is the number of hours times the number of children in care.
If unlicensed child care continues, the Base Commander can revoke your privilege of living in base housing.
If you need FCC services ensure the provider is licensed. Each approved home will have a license hanging in the home and a sign on the outside of the home.
