Family Child Care

The purpose of Extended Duty Care (EDC) is to assist families in obtaining high-quality child care from licensed or affiliated providers at or near their base when weekly parental workloads, due to extended duty hours, exceed their typical 50-hour of care (10 hrs a day or a 5 day workweek) that families are already purchasing in child care programs on or off base. Families should establish a plan to meet all their child care needs e.g., short term, TDYs, shift work care(where shift is typical assignment) etc.
