School Age Care

Programs, resources, and fun kids activites!

Aviano School Age Care provides before and after school care for children who are currently enrolled in school, ages 5-12 years old. The program offers a wide range of growth and developmental activities for the children. School Age also provides full day care during summer vacation, school holidays, in-services, and breaks. You must be enrolled in the program to participate.

Eligibility

Eligibility and fees are based on total family income and working status of guardian(s).
Initial registration requires a request for care through www.militarychildcare.com

The new priority framework is as follows:

  • Priority 1A – Child Development Program Staff
  • Priority 1B – Single/Dual Military Members and Military Members with a Full-Time Working Spouse
  • Priority 1C – Military Members with a Part-Time Working Spouse or those with a Spouse Seeking Employment
  • Priority 1D – Military Members with a Spouse Enrolled Full-Time in a Post-Secondary Institution
  • Priority 2 – Single/Dual Department of Defense Civilians with a Full-Time Working Spouse
  • Priority 3 – Space Available

In February 2020, the Office of the Secretary of Defense issued a memo to update the priority system and clarify when military families will receive priority access to child care, including supplanting lower priority families with children in care.

Once an offer for care has been accepted, families must:

  • Send in the Sponsor’s LES and Spouses Pay Stub (if applicable based on priority)
  • Submit up-to-date immunization records (printed by 31st MDG) with most recent FLU SHOT
  • Complete the School-Age Care Family Agreement
  • Attend a mandatory New Family Orientation to be scheduled by Aviano School-Age Care

Offers for care will be made through the Military Child Care (MCC) website. Families have 72 hours to accept, decline, or defer the offer for care.

Cancelation of Care requires a minimum of two-week notice.

Parents’ Night/Day Out

Offered each month to all Aviano Families. The cost is $28 for the first child registered and $23 for each additional child registered.

Give Parents a Break

General Information: The Air Force Aid Society (AFAS) recognizes that Air Force families are subject to unique stresses due to the nature of military life—deployments, remote tours of duty, extended working hours, etc.Families are often separated from spouses as well as from extended family members who might otherwise offer support. In an effort to help these families, the AFAS, in cooperation with Air Force child care community, has agreed to provide funding for child care for Active Duty Air Force families under a program called “Give Parent a Break” (GPAB).

The purpose of this program is to offer eligible active duty Air Force parents a break from the stresses of parenting. Families may use this time to suit their personal needs.

Eligibility

  • Whose spouse is deployed, on extended TDY or a remote tour of duty
  • Member has been experiencing a family crisis such as birth of a baby, serious illness of a family member, death in the family, extended illness of a family member
