FAMILY CHILD CARE (FCC) FCC providers are contractors who provide childcare in a home setting. FCC homes offer full-day, part-time, and extended hours.

The orientation/informational briefings are scheduled every Thu, 1:30pm Parent Central 6620 Normandy Dr.. Take a tour of FCC homes at www.armyfcc.com.

CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTERS (CDC) The Army provides care in a Multi-Age group setting. Each classroom enrolls children with a minimum age span of 18 months. The concept of the Multi-Age classroom is to provide a Family style environment where the children learn from and nurture each other. Children experience fewer transitions while in the Multi-Age childcare setting, giving them more time to bond with their primary caregiver. Children also benefit widely from interacting with classmates whoare older and younger, learning important principles of citizenship, relationships, respect, patience, and self-esteem. Utilizing a creative curriculum, our approach balances both teacher-directed and child-initiated learning, with an emphasis on responding to children’s learning styles and building on their strengths and interests.

CYSS offer a variety of training opportunities for parents to learn more about their growing little ones, while earning a discount on their childcare. Classes are held at Parent Central 6620 Normandy Dr. in the Training Room, unless otherwise stated.

Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers is a program that supports the overall quality of life for single Soldiers. The program does this by focusing time and energy into three aspects of a Soldier’s life:

Community Service, Quality of Life, and Recreation. All three of these aspects are important in their own way.

Community Service Helps the communities surroundingthe installation to become more aware of Soldiers in general, and helps create a favorable environment to live in.

Quality of Life Deals directly with the living conditions a Soldier might have; i.e. barracks, road conditions on post, dining facilities issues, etc.

Recreation Gives the Soldiers an outlet to do something fun and new that they may not have thought of, or been able to do. BOSS does everything from Ski Trips and Haunted Houses, to Fashion Shows and Shopping Trips. So keep an eye on what BOSS is doing and join the fun!
