Family Care

Child and Youth Programs (CYP) provide high-quality child-care and recreational programs to support eligible families. Child Development Programs, available for children 6 weeks through 12 years of age, include Child Development Centers, School Age Care, and Family Child Care homes. Child Development Programs offer full-day and part-time child care as well as hourly child care in some locations. Youth Programs, serving children ages 6 to 18, are offered at many installation locations.  All programs are designed to enrich children’s social-emotional, cognitive, and physical growth and development. CYP staff work in partnership with parents to meet each individual child’s needs in a safe, healthy, and nurturing environment.

Additional information:

The School Liaison Program (SLP) focuses its efforts on making transitions for military school age children easier. Through connections with families, schools, commanders, community, and installation programs, School Liaisons engage in a system of support on behalf of the military child.

Our mission is to identify and coordinate community resources to reduce the impact of the mobile military lifestyle on military school-aged children and families; to implement predictable support services that assist children and youth with relocations, life transitions, and achieving academic success; and to provide a wide range of resources that facilitate school transitions to parents, students, school, commanders, and communities.
