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.

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 who are 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.

UNIT PT BOWLING Call and ask about our Unit PT Bowling:Tired of the gym or the cold during the winter months? Custer Hill Bowling has the solution for you. How well you bowl and the frame determines what type of exercise and how many reps you do. Ex: 1st frame and 1st ball: You knock down 6 pins. You and your partner will do 6 pushups. If your partner fails to “pick up” the last 4 pins (say only 3 out of 4 were picked up), both players do 18 pushups (2x the amount of pins knocked down). Sit-ups, push-ups (regular/elevated), crunches, leg scissors, squats, or any type of exercise can be used. Ball weights also give you the ability to perform weight-lifting exercises as well. A strike or spare (after your partner picks up) gives both a free pass on the exercise. Cost is $2 per person. Max occupancy 80 people. Dates must be coordinated at least 3 days in advanced with the bowlingcenter. Times may be coordinated between 6am and 9am, Monday-Friday.

SPECIAL EVENTSBowling with Santa Dec 19, 11am-6pm $25 per lane and includes 2 hours of bowling with shoes, 1 large 1 topping pizza, 2 pitchers of soda, and all the kids get to meet and have their picture taken with Santa.

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

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

Community Service Helps the communities surrounding the 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!
