The U.S. Army has provided care for children and youth since 1980, through the years growing into a nationally acclaimed model for quality childcare while supporting Soldier and Family readiness.
For the past 40 years, Army CYS has played a key role in reducing the conflict between parental responsibilities and unit mission requirements. The program follows a four-pronged operation strategy that is based on quality care, affordability for patrons, availability and accountability.
In addition to the CDCs, other core CYS programs include Parent Central, an information network; referrals for community-based, off-post childcare; school-age programs, such as before- and after-school care, camps and summer care; middle school and teen programs; and sports and fitness programs.
