Family child care notice

  • Published
  • 341st Mission Support Group
Individuals caring for other families' children a total of more than 10 hours a week on a regular basis must be licensed to provide care in onbase quarters. The total number of hours is determined by the number of children in care multiplied by the hours of care provided, for example: a person caring for four children for three hours one day a week would need to be licensed. 

This does not include individuals who:
􀂄 Provide occasional care for a friend or neighbor;
􀂄 Provide baby-sitting on an occasional basis for other families;
􀂄 Provide childcare in the parent's own home;
􀂄 Operate parent cooperatives where one of the parents provides supervision for other parent's children on an exchange basis and no fees are involved;
􀂄 Teenagers doing evening and weekend babysitting for families;
􀂄 Temporary full-time care of a child during a parent's absence for temporary duty or deployment by the person listed on the AF Form 357, Family Care Plan. 

The 341st Mission Support Group commander may revoke the housing privileges of individuals who provide care for more than 10 hours a week but refuse to become licensed.
