The Army has the responsibility to balance the ability of Families to rely on one another to meet their short term child care needs, protecting the safety and well-being of children.
The 10 hour per week limit means any Family member living on-post in privatized housing, providing child care for than 10 child care hours per week on a regular basis must be certified as a Family Child Care Provider. Don't worry, you can still watch your friend's children without needing to be certified as long as you do not provide more than 10 hours a week of child care on a regular basis. Providing unauthorized care places you at risk of losing your housing privileges. Please report any violations to your CYS office immediately.
