fact, our Child Care program is considered a "Model for the Nation".
Our Mission is Caring
Child and Youth Services is an integral part of the Army mission. Our
programs support the Soldier which in turn enhances Army readiness. In other
words, a soldier can concentrate on his/her mission knowing that their
children and youth are safe and supervised by trained and professional staff
while participating in quality developmental programs.
The Army Soldier's workday differs slightly due to irregular or extended
duty hours, deployments and temporary duty assignments. The challenges for
care continue to grow as mission requirements demand more of the modern day
soldier. One significant difference is the soldier may not have a choice
when called for duty.
"Child and Youth Services recognizes the challenges of our soldiers
and their families. By offering quality programs and accountability for
children and youth, CYS reduces the conflict between mission readiness and
parental responsibility!"
Child and Youth Services responds to these requirements by providing
programs when our customers need us the most. To us, that means providing a
program that is open early morning, late evening, weekends and if needed 24
hours a day.
