SCHOOL AGE CENTER (SAC) SAC is a nationally accredited program for Kindergarten to 5th Grade. SAC offers before and after school programs, as well as Open Recreation. Children can utilize Open Recreation for 10 hours per week during the school year and 20 hours per week during the summer. Families requiring full time care may register for a weekly fee. Get five FREE hours of Open Recreation each month simply for being registered with CYSS (reservations are required). Normal rate is $4.00 per hour.

CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTERS The Army provides care in a Multi-Age group setting. The concept of the Multi-Age classroom is to provide a Family style environment where the children learn from and nurture each other. Children experience fewer transitions while in the Multi-Age child care setting, giving them more time to bond with their primary caregiver. Children also benefit widely from interacting with classmates who are older and younger, learning important principles of citizenship, relationships, respect, patience, and self-esteem. Utilizing a creative curriculum, our approach balances both teacher-directed and child-initiated learning, with an emphasison responding to children’s learning styles and building on their strengths and interests.

PARENT CENTRAL Your first stop for all Child, Youth & School Services (CYSS) is Parent Central. Registration is required to participate in any CYS Service. Annual registration fees are currently waived (until further notice) and CYSS registration may be transferred to a new duty station upon PCS. CYSS hosts an internet based Parent Advisory Board on the third Thursday of each month beginning at 4:30pm. If you have any issues or concerns, this is the place to voice them and get answers to questions directly from the CYSS management team. Participating patrons can receive points towards a 10% discount on their childcare fees. For more information regarding parent participation points, contact 239-9885. Parent Central also maintains a list of trained teenage baby-sitters for your occasional outing.
