This home care program offers a safe, family atmosphere with developmentally appropriate activities for infants, toddlers and school-aged children 6 weeks to 12 years of age. Providers offer full-time, part-time, drop-in and extended hourly care.

Providers are entitled to develop a fee scale. Children under 24 months are elibible for subsidy and follow the Child Development Center fee scale.

The CDH program places priority on operating standards, staff training, personal qualifications and background screening. Homes are inspected quarterly by Preventive Medicine, Fire/Safety Inspector and monthly by CDH Director or monitor. Providers are approved by the Quality Review Board and certified by the NASP Commanding Officer. Off base homes are also licensed by the State.
