This program assist parents with child care needs before and after hours of operation at the Child Development Centers and School Age Program. Care is given in a licensed and inspected home by an experienced Family Child Care Provider. Providers will transport your child to and from the Child Development and School Age Programs. This program also assists with child care needs for shift workers and those parents working 12 hour shifts. The School-Age Program offers youth of working parents a safe, creative recreational outlet during their before and after school hours.
Priority is given to eligible children of active duty military and DoD civilians.
The program operates throughout the school year, including Hillsborough County School System winter and spring vacations and teachers' planning days. Summer Camp is geared for children who have completed kindergarten through 12 years of age, offering working parents supervised recreational care during summer months. Our Family Child Care Program allows base residents to care for children in their homes after they have completed training, screening, and have received the Support Group Commander's approval to operate a Family Child Care Home. While care is provided in a small ratio, providers promote well-planned activities to enhance the child's physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development. A convenient loan service enables providers to checkout toys and supplies from the coordinator.
