Children may think of moving to Germany as an exciting new adventure. They may also struggle with the big change. Luckily, every installation has resources available to help your kids settle into their new home.

Your installation’s offerings may vary, but many programs are available through Force Support Squadrons (FSS) or Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) services.

Child Development Center (CDC)—These centers offer weekday childcare for children ages 6-weeks to 5 years. Visit www.militarychildcare.com to register for care.

School-Age Care (SAC) or the School-Age Program (SAP) is available for students in first through fifth grade. The programs offer before and after school care with homework help, clubs and structured activities. Visit www.militarychildcare.com to register.

Family Child Care (FCC) providers are certified and regulated by the DoD to care for children in their homes. Some offer extended hours. Visit your local MWR or CYS office, or visit www.militarychildcare.com to get details.
