Army Child Care in Your Neighborhood (ACCYN) – Army Child Care in Your Neighborhood is a collaborative effort among the United States Army, the National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies (NACCRRA), and Flint Hills CCR&R. ACCYN was created to meet the demand for high-quality, off-post child care options for Army Families. We achieve our goal by maintaining a network of qualified civilian family child care homes and centers that are comparable to the programs found on military installations.
ACCYN Informational Brochure
Army Fee Assistance - Army families that choose ACCYN child care providers pay reduced fees, comparable to those charged on post. Fees are based on "total family" income, with discounts generally given for multiple children. For more information about the NACCRRA fee assistance programs please contact Gretchen Johnson at the FHRRA office (785)532-7197 or (800)227-3578 or visit NACCRRA's site.
About ACCYN Providers - In order for civilian child care programs to qualify to participate in ACCYN, providers must pass a background screening, and be trained in child abuse prevention, fire, health and safety procedures, CPR and First Aid. Once qualified, providers will have access to training, on-site technical assistance, and assistance with achieving national accreditation and/or the Child Development Associate Credential (CDA). Learn more about Accreditation.
Take a "Virtual Tour" of ACCYN Child Care Programs - Child Care Online is a new online search tool for Army families searching for ACCYN child care "beyond the gates" of Ft. Riley. When completing the online search for child care, providers with a virtual tour will have a link next to their name.
