We are calling on you, our military spouses to join us in making a difference in the lives of our children and families.

Seymour Johnson currently has numerous families needing assistance with Special Needs children.

***Family Child Care is available to affiliate with off-base providers licensed by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Division of Child Development.

This program accepts children, employment of staff and approval of providers with chronic health problems including HIV positive individuals.

Our goal is to make quality child care available to military members and Department of Defense employees so they are able to successfully perform their mission duties, secure in the knowledge their children are being cared for in a safe, healthy and loving environment. The program is designed to provide an alternative to child development center care for families that need evening or weekend care, care for children with special needs, infants, and school age children, as well as care during swing and midnight shifts. Our program also offers an opportunity for spouses to contribute to the family income while caring for children in their own home.

Children, infants through 12 years of age, of any active duty military personnel or Department of Defense civilian employee are eligible to receive care.

Enables families to obtain high-quality child care from licensed or affiliated providers at or near their base when weekly parental workloads (due to longer duty hours) exceed their typical 50-hour child care arrangements. Child care provided is for non-traditional hours, i.e. evenings and weekends at no additional cost to parents. The EDC initiative also helps parents with “child care emergencies” when their regular source of child care is not available. Other approved use includes spouses of deployed or TDY members needing child care, created in part by absence of spouse, as well as FCC providers that have medical appointments or need substitute care on a limited basis.      

• Extended duty days beyond those hours provided in child care centers
• Temporary shift changes
• Rapid mobilization

Allows parents to utilize a FCC home and pay the same weekly fee they would be charged for childcare in the CDC or School-Age Program. The amount offset by Air Force is based on the type of care provided, the age of the child and the provider’s license status. The FCC Coordinator calculates parent fees by using DoD guidelines on Total Family Income. Only available at bases where there is a CDC waiting list; check with the FCC Coordinator, at 722-0329 for program availability.

This program accepts children, employment of staff and approval of providers with chronic health problems including HIV positive individuals.

Recognizing the importance of volunteers to our community, Air Force Aid Society provides funding for Child Care for Volunteers who engage in supporting programs, which benefit our community.  Although some exceptions are applicable it is our desire to support as many volunteers as possible that work at a variety of agencies throughout the base.  For more information contact the Family Child Care Office at 919-722-0329.

This program is designed to help relieve some of the stress felt by families who are in the process of a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) move.  Co-sponsored by Family Support and Air Force Aid, the program offers up to 20 hours of childcare, per child, in licensed Family Child Care homes.  Families may receive a certificate both at the base the family is departing from and the base where the family is arriving.  Certificates are valid within 30 days of departure if issued at departure base, and/or 30 days of arrival if issued at the new base.For more information contact the Family Child Care Office at 919-722-0329 or Air Force Aid at 919-722-1123.

Funded by Air Force Aid Society, the program is intended for active duty Air Force families who have a family member with special needs.  The goal is to provide a “break” for a few hours a week or month to families who have the responsibility of 24 hour a day care for an ill or disabled family member.  Assistance for respite care is based on need.  The Family Advocacy/Exceptional Family Member Program Officer issues certificates.  For more information contact the Family Child Care Office at 919-722-0329 or the Family Advocacy Office at 919-722-1878
