for more providers. All FCC providers provide developmentally appropriate activities
and nutritious meals for children from 2 weeks to 12 years. Resource and referral
services are offered to parents in need of child care to include hourly, evening, and
weekend care.
Eielson AFB FCC is a sponsor of the United States Department of Agricultural Child
Care Food Program. This program helps feed the children healthy and nutritious
meals. It also gives the provider guidelines on the food provided to the children.

Contracts & Fees
The Family Child Care office does not regulate FCC provider's contracts or fees. The

take the time to read the contracts. If you have any questions about your contract
please ask the provider before care begins. Make sure you understand the terms of
the provider's contract fully to include your fees and when they are due on. Once an
agreement is reached by both yourself and the provider make sure you sign and
receive a copy of the contract for your own records. You may also want to request
the provider's tax identification number so you will have it at tax time.
Air Force License & Accredited License
Family Child Care provides a choice to parents in the care they select by offering Air
Force licensing or a National Accredited level of licensing. The two levels of licensing
ensure that parents will receive care that protects their children's health and safety.
The Accredited providers are nationally recognized by the National Association of
Family Child Care. The Accredited providers have gone through extensive training
and observations.
The FCC program accepts children with chronic health problems, including
HIV-positive children, for care and employs persons and approves individuals in
accordance with AFI 34-276 with chronic health problems, including HIV-Positive.
