CHOOSING A PROVIDER
The relationship between parents and FCC providers play a vital role in the success of each home. Parents should feel comfortable when speaking to a potential provider about their child and should share any concerns they may have.

AIR FORCE EXTENDED DUTY CHILD CARE PROGRAM
Extended Duty Care (EDC) is available for Single and Dual military members that requiring extended childcare due to a temporary extended duty day or a temporary shift change. Parents do not have to pay for EDC care. Extended Duty Care request forms are available at the CDC, FCC office and have been emailed to all Shirts. At this time EDC hours have been reduced for PACAF, so all requests must be routed to HQ Air Staff level for approval, which means more time is needed for the approval process.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE EXTENDED DUTY CHILD CARE PROVIDER PROGRAM?
-
At least one parent must be a member of the U.S. Military, active duty, reserve or guard on active duty, dual employed (married to a civilian), or DoD civilian.
-
Parents required to work mission related duty beyond the standard 40-hour work week. For more information regarding the program call FCC at 969-6012.
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO USE THE EDC:
- Complete an EDC form to include time, dates, and First Shirt’s, Supervisor’s or Commander’s signature.
- Submit EDC form two weeks prior to the date of the event to the FCC Coordinator (quickest way is to scan and email form).
Sometimes when initial EDC requests are submitted
schedules may change. If this happens, and
your childcare needs change or you need to cancel
your EDC request, parents are required to cancel
24 hours in advance by calling or emailing both the
FCC coordinator and the FCC provider scheduled to
provide care. If more hours are needed another
EDC request must be submitted for approval.
"No-shows" and No Cancellations - If a parent does
not show up and does not cancel their scheduled
EDC appointment, a provider will only wait one
hour after the scheduled time slot. All no-shows
and no-cancellations could result in a disapproved
EDC request in the future.
