The Child Development Center is located in Bldg 470.

The Center is accredited by National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).  They accept children from six weeks to 5 years of age.
The development of the "whole" child and interaction in a social setting are extremely important aspects of the Child Development Program. Affective, social, creative, cognitive, language, and physical growth are key elements in our program.
Children are encouraged to freely express their own ideas, ask questions, use materials, and activities to discover and create themselves. Self-confidence, independence, cooperation, and consideration are the end results.
Patrons must complete an application for enrollment. Applicants are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. If two applicants apply at the same time, priority will be given to single - military, then to dual - military.
Drop-In hourly care is provided on a space available basis Monday thru Friday from 6:00 A.M. - 6:00 P.M.  Cost is $3.00 per hour.  Reservations for hourly care may be made up to 2 weeks in advance. For more information, please read our Parent Handbook (MS Word Document).
