CYSS:
Family Child Care


FCC VISION STATEMENT

The FCC Program will offer a safe environment in a home setting for a small ratio of children. Providers will nurture and help develop each child as if they were their own. Children and parents will feel welcome and comfortable.

Children will be provided with experiences that meet and challenge their developmental levels. Children will be loved, accepted and appreciated for their individuality and cultural diversity.

The FCC Program will support providers in providing quality childcare experiences through training, monitoring, resources, and supplies. Providers will appreciate their accomplishments as they recognize the impact they have on the children and their parents.

The FCC Program will be recognized as a high quality program which meets all the needs of the parents and children. FCC Will no longer be considered the last resort, but the first choice for care.

Programs

Family Child Care (FCC) offers full day, hourly, and before and after school services. FCC trains, certifies and monitors family members who provide child care in government quarters. FCC homes provide the same care programs as the Child Development Centers (CDCs) plus have some additional benefits. Homelike atmospheres, opportunities for siblings to be in care together, and more flexible hours than the CDCs are hall marks of FCC benefits. Some providers offer evening, night, and extended care options for parents with non traditional work schedules.


Price William County Partnership

FCC and Prince William County Partnership - FCC is currently coordinating a partnership to create a Homes Off Post Program. The program will enable Prince William County certified home child providers located off post to enter into agreement with Fort Belvoir FCC to monitor and refer Fort Belvoir patrons to their homes. In return the home providers agree to comply with FCC training and safety requirements as well as designate slots for eligible family members referred by Fort Belvoir. A terrific option for families with small children to avoid the commute to Fort Belvoir from Prince William County.


Operation Nobel Eagle

FCC Supports Operation Nobel Eagle - In response to the additional duty hours soldiers and civilian are working, FCC has developed classes to assist FCC providers in meeting the requirements to offer extended hour care. In addition, the program is expanding to offer the opportunity for center based child care staff living in government quarters to attend classes in order to offer child care on weekends as possible CYSS satellite homes. For information on the class dates call the FCC office.

Parent Participation

Parent participation is highly encouraged in all CYSS programs, and is actually necessary for some activities to be successful. There would not be a Sports program without the dedication of volunteer coaches. Some ways parents participate in child care programs may include eating lunch with their child and participating in various room activities (prior arrangements must be made with your child's teacher). Parent Advisory Boards (PAB's) operate at all the Centers and are open to all parents. Through the PAB, parents provide valuable input to the programs in which their children spend a significant portion of their day. To encourage parent participation, the "Why I'm Needed" (WIN) program allows parents to earn points through volunteering opportunities at the centers, or attending parenting classes through the Family Advocacy Program.

The WIN Program: This is a special program that enables parents to earn up to a 10% discount on their 1st child's monthly child care fees at the CDC or SAS. Parents perform essential tasks for the CDC or SAS and earn a specific number of discount points. Each discount point is worth 1 percent each up to a maximum of 10 discount points which is 10%. These discount points may then be applied towards child care fee. Check with the CDC or SAS front desk staff for more information.


Eligibility

Eligibility to use CYSS programs include active duty military personnel, DoD civilian personnel, reservists on active duty for 72 hours or more, and DoD contractors working on Fort Belvoir. Military retirees are only eligible for our sports programs and our free Middle School and Teens program. Because child care programs are offered for the sponsor to report to work so that the Army can meet its mission, eligibility to use Fort Belvoir child care programs ends upon End Term of Service (ETS) of sponsor, termination of sponsor's DoD employment or DoD contractor's employment on Fort Belvoir. A thirty-day grace period is authorized to find alternate care. All patrons must register with Parent Central Services (Resource and Referral - Central Registration). The Parent Central Services (Resource and Referral - Central Registration) phone numbers are (703) 806-0791.
