As a working parent, having a safe place for your children to go before and after school provides you with peace of mind to do your job.  Our School Age Care program is designed to do just that.  The highly structured recreational and educational programs provide youth with age appropriate before and after school activities, as well as holiday and summer day camps where kids will be able to meet new friends, learn new skills and participate in a variety of activities.  

Eligibility

Our Child and Youth Programs are based on the developmental program model which focuses on play and its importance in a child's learning process. We are committed to supporting the military family by recognizing the uniqueness of each family's lifestyle and cultural heritage. We strive to meet each child's social, emotional and intellectual needs by instilling in each child a feeling of competence and positive self-concept. We value and support our staff through staff development and continuing education so they are well equipped to support the individual needs of children. Parents are welcome and encouraged to participate in center events and activities.

Special Needs

Special Needs children are cared for in all of our programs as long as reasonable accommodations can be made. Special Needs children must be processed through our Special Needs Board and must be enrolled in the Exceptional Family Member Program.

Costs

Fees for full time care (25 hrs/week or more) and before and after school care are determined by DODINST 6060 and are based on Total Household Income. A 20% discount is given to additional children in the family.

Drop-In Care

Drop-in care is available in our Child Development Home programs and in the Child Development Center (on a space available basis only) and costs $4 per hour per child.
