The CYSS goal is to assist each child by promoting his/her intellectual growth, physical ability, and social skills.

Under the regulatory guidance of AR 608-10, CYSS programs are offered as a supplement to the family, not as a substitute. Therefore, they seek the fam-ily’s involvement and welcome questions and com-ments.CYSS offers various programs to support children and families with child care, recreation, social-ization, and child development for children ages

4 weeks–19 years. The Child Development Centers (CDCs) offer full day and hourly child care programs

for ages 6 weeks–5 years old. School Age Services (SAS) offers a variety of care, to include part day preschool and

The Youth Services (YS) program offers an after-school middle school program, open recreation, health, fit-ness, and social opportunities for 6th grade and up, free of charge.

Child Development Centers (CDC’s)Army CYSS Programs have been described as “a model for the na-tion,” and they do the best to deserve that accolade! The rates are competitive with other programs of comparable quality. Hourly care is also available at South Post CDC Monday–Friday, 7:30 am–4:30 pm. Reservations may be made up to four weeks in advance. If you want to know about the daily lesson plans, schedules and routines, child growth and development issues, or what constitutes a quality day care experience for children, just ask.
