Children of active-duty military personnel, DoD civilian personnel, reservists on active duty and DoD contractors are eligible.

Family Childcare Location: Bldg. 1988 Phone: (501) 987-3156 FCC Hours: Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Want a chance to meet new friends and run your own business? Licensed providers are needed in base housing. Training is free and includes CPR/first aid, nutrition, child abuse prevention, child development, diversity, record keeping and much more. A resource center is available to all licensed providers free of charge. Anyone providing child care on a regular basis or more than 10 hours a week in base housing must be licensed. Dependents of active-duty members residing off base can be licensed. You must first be licensed with the State of Arkansas and complete the FCC certification training and process. As an affiliated 34 Base Community (U.S. Air Force photo) licensed provider with the <strong>Little</strong> Rock AFB Family Child Care Program, you have access to a large resource center, child development training, USDA food program and much more. Other available program services consist of expanded child care, including Extended Duty Child Care, Child Care for Volunteers, Returning Home Family Child Care, Home Community Care & Subsidy and Child Care for PCS. Please see below or call the FCC office for further information on each of these programs. Extended Duty Childcare The purpose of the Extended Duty Care Program is to assist families in obtaining high-quality child care from licensed or affiliated providers at or near the base when weekly parental workloads, due to extended duty hours, exceed the 50 hours of care that families are already purchasing in child care programs on or off base. Families should establish a plan to meet all their child care needs, e.g., short-term TDYs, shift-work care where shift work is typical, etc. The EDC program should be considered the “back-up plan.” This program is on a first-come, first-served basis. To be eligible for this program, at least one parent must be a member of the U.S. military: active duty, reserve or guard member in activated status; dual employed (military married to civilian) or DoD civilian employee (single or dual employed) assigned to or working on the installation. Being provided care is a privilege, not a right, and the Family Child Care program will retain final approval authority on whether or not a child is accepted for care. • First priority is given to parents whose children are currently enrolled in the Air Force Child Development, School-Age and/or FCC programs. • Parents must complete all appropriate forms including Air Force Forms 1181, 357 (if applicable) and 1055 (if applicable). Extended Duty Care Used for: • On-base mission-related duty • Extended duty days • Temporary shift changes (not to exceed three days for each occurrence) • Rapid mobilization • Dual military or single parent deployment until alternate child care can be arranged or children are picked up by AF Form 357 designee (not to exceed three working days for each occurrence) • No notice/short-notice TDY (not to exceed three working days per occurrence and a total of 12 days per calendar year) • With less than one-week notice • If no other family member is available • If verified with supervisor • Provides temporary assistance until other arrangements can be found • Spouse of deployed or TDY member who is experiencing a short-term child care emergency created in part by the duty-related absence of a spouse LITTLE ROCK 2013 AFB GUIDE
(U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Ethan Morgan) • On federal holidays when AF child care programs (CDC, SAP, subsidized space in licensed/affiliated FCC home) are closed/unavailable and parents are required to work to meet mission requirements Requests to exceed time limits are sent to the major command in advance for approval. Confirmation of approval is sent from the major command to flight chief, FCC coordinator and Headquarters United States Air Force simultaneously. Extended Duty Care Cannot be used: • On a regular, recurring basis • To meet parents’ regular child care requirements • To provide shift work care where shift work is a typical assignment • For mandatory PT • To provide hourly care for non-duty-related reasons • For off-duty education and employment on a recurring basis • For holidays, family days or CDC/SAP/FCC home closures, to attend/watch air shows, etc. • For FCC providers who have medical appointments, child care emergencies that affect their ability to provide child care or need substitute care (except when approved by MAJCOM and if EDC provider has unused hours) • Airman and Family Services staff who have medical appointments and other child care emergencies that affect their ability to provide child care (except when approved by MAJCOM and if EDC provider has unused hours) • Airman and Family Services staff and FCC provider training (except when approved by MAJCOM and if EDC provider has unused hours) The EDC program is administered through the Airman and Family Services Flight and is currently provided at no cost to families. For more information, to obtain a copy of the EDC parent statement (required for each EDC request) or to find out your qualifying status, contact the FCC coordinator at (501) 987-3156 or 7162. Child Care for Volunteers Recognizing the importance of volunteers to the base community, the AFAS provides funding for the Child Care for Volunteers program. Licensed or affiliated FCC homes will provide care for volunteers who are engaged in supporting programs that benefit the Air Force community. This program is not meant to pay for child care for volunteers in resale (Thrift Shop), fundraising or social activities. For volunteer information or to see if you qualify for the free child care, contact the Airman and Family Readiness Center at (501) 987-6801 or the FCC office at (501) 987-3156/7162. Returning Home Family Childcare The Returning Home Child Care program provides child care for children ages 12 and under. Up to 16 hours of care per child per occurrence during a sixmonth period is available to those active-duty members, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve members returning to their home stations after deployments of a minimum of 30 calendar days, or to personnel who routinely deploy on a short-term basis (cumulative of 30 days in a six-month period) in support of contingency operations, and members for a two-week rest-and-relaxation leave. Care for the RHC Program is provided by an EDC FCC home. The 16 hours are to be used within six months of returning to their home station. For more information, call (501) 987-3156. Childcare for PCS The Child Care for PCS Program is intended to help relieve some of the stress felt by families in the process of a PCS move. The Air Force Aid Society will pay for up to 20 hours of child care per child in licensed FCC homes, based on availability, on base or in Air Force affiliated homes off base. Air Force Families with PCS orders can obtain a Child Care for PCS certificate at the base relocation office in the Airman and Family Readiness Center. Families can receive a certificate at both the base from which they are departing and at their new base. Certificates are good only at the base at which they are issued; unused hours do not transfer from one base to another. Families may use the 20 hours of child care within 60 days before the family's departure from a base, and 60 days after arriving at the new base. This program is open to all ranks unless there is a shortage of child care providers at the base, in which case priority would be given to junior ranking personnel.
