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.
