Become an FCC Educator Today!
What is an FCC Educator?
An individual and their home that is DoD Certified to operate an in-home childcare program. FCC Educators are independent business-owners that adhere DoD Child and Youth guidance. DoD Certification is maintained annually and is the military equivalent of state licensing. It represents verified compliance with standards regarding fire, health, safety, developmental programming, child abuse prevention, funding, and training.
FCC Educators require Moody AFB affiliation, such as being a military spouse or civilian.
As an FCC Educator, you’re able to work from home, support military families, and get reimbursed for your children!
