Picatinny Arsenal does not currently have any Family Child Care homes.  If you are interested in providing a FCC home, please contact:

 Kristy Milner at 973-724-7892 or kristen.milner@us.army.mil.

Army Family Child Care Homes (FCC) are available both on- and off-post through childcare providers who are independent contractors certified through extensive on-going training and monitoring by the Army.  FCC Homes provide full-day, part-day and hourly care for children in a home environment where children can develop motor, cognitive, social and emotional skills through a balance of exploration and planned curriculum. Learning activities are designed to support the natural development of children and include individual and small group experiences.
