Family Child Care
Base housing residents can start a rewarding career that will allow them to earn an income and shape the future of the next generation as
licensed Hurlburt Field family child care providers. Family Child Care is an alternative to the Child Development Center for families that
need full-time care, evening care, weekend care, care for children with special needs, infants, and school-age children, and care
during swing and midnight shifts. Individuals must be licensed by the Mission Support Group Commander when providing care in their base housing unit for more than 10 hours a week or on a regular basis.
 Extended Duty Care (EDC)
EDC is provided for military or DoD civilian members who need care beyond the member's regular 50-hour per week
child care arrangements and have to work late, work on the weekends, are experiencing a shift change or are called in to
support a deployment. FCC providers will pick the children up at (or take them to) their regular child care arrangements on base.
This is a FREE program. Contact the FCC office for more information.
Returning Home Care
When the Air Force is engaged overseas, members who return from duty are granted 16 hours of FREE care per child for military
members returning home from deployment to spend time with spouses and catch up on family duties. Contact the FCC office for more
information.
FCC for PCS
Families may use 20 hours of family child care within 60 days before the family's departure from a base, and 60 days after
arriving at the new base paid for by the AF Aid Society through the Child Care for PCS program. This program is open to all
ranks. Contact the Airman and Family Readiness Center at 884-6830 for more information.
FCC for Volunteers
The Air Force Aid Society provides funding for the child care in FCC homes for volunteers who are engaged in supporting
programs that benefit the Air Force community. This is a FREE program. Contact the Airman and Family Readiness Center for more information at 884-5441 or 884-5442. |
