Drop-In Child Care

We are happy to care for your child(ren) while you use the Baker Field House (Eielson Air Force Base) and the Buckner Fitness Center (JBER)! Our Child Watch is a short-term, drop-in child care center for children ages 6 months–12 years. This program offers up to two hours of supervised care in fun, kid-friendly spaces. Parents/guardians must remain onsite. This program is available to dependents of active duty service members.

Pre-registation and a copy of your child(ren)’s immunization records are required prior to your first visit. Scroll below for details.

Program Details

ASYMCA Child Watch is available to dependents (ages 6 months to 12 years old) of active duty service members.

All children must be pre-registered prior to their first appointment. You can pre-register your child online using the form found at the bottom of this page. Please note that you must provide a copy of your child’s shot records to register.

We provide up to two hours of care per day for families as they relax or workout at Baker Field House or Buckner Fitness Center.
