FCC HOMES
Family Child Care homes are quality child care business. In addition to trainings and reviews by the CYP program, homes are also monitored by base health, safety, and fire departments. Children enrolled in the FCC program experience a close family atmosphere that includes a small ratio, a curriculum similar to that of the Child Development Center, and nutritious meals that are approved by the Food Program. Care offered often meets family and individual children’s needs better than large group or center based care.Typically these homes can provide hours of operation that are more flexible than those at a child care center. Hours can include early morning, evening, weekend, and/or overnight care.
CONTRACTS AND POLICIES
Each Provider has a written contract that must be signed by the provider and the parents. This contract describes procedures for payment to include when and how much to pay, late payment requirements, and additional fees. Contracts also include policies on vacations, holidays and withdrawal procedures. Other policies included will be meal and nap schedules, an illness policy, emergency procedures, permission slips, and discipline and guidance techniques. Parents will have the chance to read over and discuss the contract with the Provider, and once it is signed, it is legally binding.
