Child and Youth Programs (CYP) provide high quality child care programs and services that support eligible families. The program operates under the auspices of the Family Care Branch. Certified by the DoD and accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children and the National Afterschool Association, CYP offers nurturing, developmentally appropriate care for children from 6 weeks to 12 years. All programs are designed to enrich your child’s social, cognitive, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth and development. Fees are set by the DoD and based on total household income.

All families must register and submit Requests for Care with MilitaryChildCare.com before processing through the local enrollment office.

Services are reserved for dependents of active duty military service members, DoD civilian employees paid from APF and NAF, Guard/Reserve component military service members on orders, combat related wounded warriors, surviving spouses of military members who died from a combat related incident, eligible employees of DoD contractors, other federal employees, and military retirees when space is available.
