Programs Offered

The preschool program is Accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children and DOD Certified. Infant care is provided for babies 6 weeks of age and above.

Costs

The age of the child has no bearing on the cost of care. The range of rates is due to the sliding scale of parent fees as required by the Department of Defense. Fees are based on the combined total family income and are derived from the adjusted gross income on the most recent Leave and Earnings Statement.

Fees are established by DOD guidelines. DPG CYS does not control fees or have variance for  fees. 

School Age Services (SAS) are designed to meet the specialized needs of children between first through fifth grade. SAS provides a recreational program designed to supplement, not duplicate, school experiences.
The program is accredited by the National School Age Care Alliance (NSACA).

SAS is a program that operates before and after school, as well as on a full-time basis during school vacations. Children are escorted to and from Dugway Elementary School.
