Child Development Center (CDC)
Edwards Child Development
Center offers the highest quality child care services available for children six
weeks through 5 years (those not enrolled in kindergarten). The
program is accredited by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs and
certified by the Department of Defense and the Department of the Air
Force. Our goal is to offer children of active duty military and
Department of Defense civilians and contractors a safe, healthy, and loving
environment while away from parents and home. The program offers
various services that include full-day care, hourly care, and part-day
preschool.
By filling out a DD Form 2606, you can place your child's name
on the child care waiting list in advance of your arrival to
Edwards. To do so, check with the Child Care Center at your present
location.
Family Child Care
The Family Child Care Home
Program offers home-based child care in licensed homes for children ages two
weeks through twelve years. These self-employed providers operate
their home independently in compliance with strict Air Force policies, including
frequent inspections and close monitoring by the Family Child Care staff.
Extensive background screening and orientation training must be completed prior
to licensing. Full time, part time, hourly, weekends, extended hours
and school age care is available. For more information, call the Family Child
Care Office.
