The Children, Youth and Teen Program encompasses all aspects of childcare and provides high quality developmental and recreational programs for children six weeks to eighteen years. All of our programs are designed to assist active duty and DOD personnel in balancing the competing demands of family life, mission accomplishment, and to improve the economic viability of the family unit. |
Congratulations on choosing an early childhood program for your child that is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. NAEYC administers the largest and most widely recognized accreditation systems for all types of early childhood programs and child care centers. NAEYC is the nation's largest organization of early childhood educators. |
 What is accreditation?
Early childhood programs accredited by the NAEYC Academy for Early Childhood Program Accreditation have voluntarily undergone a comprehensive process of internal self-study, invited external professional review to verify compliance with the Criteria for High-Quality Early Childhood Programs, and been found to be in substantial compliance with the criteria. The criteria can be found on NAEYC's website at www. naeyc.org/accreditation.

Family child care is provided in an on-base family housing unit, other than the child’s home, for one or more unrelated children for more than 10 childcare hours per week. A childcare hour is defined as the care of one child for one hour. Child Care services are permitted in all housing units. Providers are authorized by the Commanding Officer after completing a number of program compliance requirements. Each Family Child Care Home is a small business operated by the spouse of a military service member. Group sizes, determined by the age and development of the children served, are as follows |
