       Interested in becoming an on-base or affiliate provider?  If you answered yes, you can qualify by completing an application form and training.  Licensed providers receive training in nutrition, planning age appropriate activities, recognizing child abuse and neglect, first aid, proper safety practices in their home, CPR, as well as many other interrelated topics.  Trainees must successfully complete home and background inspections.  Spouses of active duty, retired or DoD civilians are eligible to become a provider.  Earn up to $175 per child/per week.  Training classes are held at the Family Child Care (FCC) office.  Free child care may be available to applicants during the classes.

       The nature path around Grassy Pond is accessible by entering the trail by Shelter Three and ending up at the campsite near site 20.  Both entrances are clearly marked for your convenience and there are many rest stops along the path.  Remember, if you are going on the nature trail alone, please stop by the main building and let a staff member know before you leave as well as when you return.  We encourage the buddy system for activities around Grassy Pond.  Come out and get back in touch with nature.  See you at the Pond!
