Navigating Navy Child Care Excellence

FAMILY CHILD CARE

CURRICULUM AND ASSESSMENT FCC Providers are trained on developmentally appropriate practices and required to use a developmentally appropriate curriculum. In addition, we support Providers' professional growth and development through ongoing assessments and quality improvement plans. ABOUT - Navy-certified Family Child Care (FCC) Providers offer high- quality care for eligible children in a small-group, multi-age home environment. FCC Providers are self-employed individuals operating a child care business in their own home and often have previous early childhood education experience. They undergo regular inspections and receive ongoing programming support and extensive training. They’re here to promote overall social, emotional, cognitive and physical growth – all while building school readiness skills. Program options may include full- or part-time care, emergency care, respite care, hourly care, extended hours, overnight care and special needs care. The programs are DoD-certified. ACCREDITATION & CERTIFICATION FCC Providers must demonstrate annually that they meet all of the Navy certification requirements before they are approved to operate a Family Child Care home. All certified FCC Providers are eligible and encouraged to obtain accreditation through the National Association for Family Child Care.
