Kinderspot

Malmstrom Child Development Center (CDC) and School Age Care (SAC) offer families, who have full time space at the CDC/SAC and/or a before, after, or before/after school space at SAC, the opportunity to sublet their space. Only weekly spaces (Monday-Friday) will be available to sublet.

Procedures and guidance for enrolled families who are assigned the child care space:

1. • Families have two options for subletting/leasing/renting their child care space.

1. Full time – a family agrees to sublet/lease/rent the child care space for the entire week and pay the weekly fee based on their family’s total family income (TFI) if a renter is not located.
   1. Renters will pay the weekly fee based on their family’s TFI.
2. Hourly – the space will be used for hourly care and the family, who owns the space, will receive a credit up to their weekly fee if the space is subletted.
   1. Renters will pay the hourly fee based on AF Fee Policy.

1. • Families, who own the child care space, must notify the CDC/SAC administrative staff (front desk) of their intent to sublet their space and the week(s) the child care space will be available.

1. At locations with DAF CDCs selected for Kinderspot (a mobile application that allows military and DoD civilian families to offer and sublet/lease/rent short term child care, in weekly segments) families may register and post the week(s) available on the Kinderspot App.

The following actions will take place if the space is subletted/leased/rented:

• If the weekly fee is paid prior to the start of the week by the family, who sublets the child care space, the owner will not be charged the weekly fee.
• If the weekly fee is paid by the family, who sublets the child care space after the owner has paid the weekly fee, a credit will be issued to the owner.
• If the child care space is used for hourly care, the family, who owns the child care space, will receive a credit for each hour used up to the weekly fee charged.

* Under no circumstances shall the family who owns the space profit from subletting of the child care space. 

• Once a family, who owns the child care space, enters into a sublet agreement and there is a family who has agreed to sublet the child care space, the owner of the child care space cannot cancel the agreement without providing a minimum of 3 business days’ notice.  Note:  The cancellation must be provided in writing/email to the CDC/SAC administrative staff (front desk).
• Once a family agrees to sublet a child care space, the family cannot cancel the agreement without providing a minimum of 3 business days’ notice.  Note:  The cancellation must be provided in writing/email to the CDC/SAC administrative staff (front desk).  In case of cancellation without a minimum of 3 business days’ notice by the family, who agreed to sublet the child care space, will be responsible for the weekly fee based on their TFI.

* DoD prioritization policy does not apply to enrollment in a temporary sublet/lease/rental space.
