CHILD CARE
CYS continues to offer childcare based on the DOD Priority List -- currently placing all Single/Dual AD military (1C) and as many AD with working spouse (1D) as possible. CYS continues to evaluate incoming families at the 1C priority category.

The DOD Priority List was changed on Sept. 1. We want to ensure families understand the need to seek alternate care options. This will mostly affect DOD civilians (1E), as we do not project to have space available for care for families in that category. DOD personnel are eligible for fee assistance for care off-base through Child Care Aware of America. We encourage these families needing immediate care to find a location off-base first that accepts a CCAoA subsidy and then come into Parent Central to receive a statement of non-availability/waiver to secure a childcare space off-base. We recommend seeking a location first that qualifies and then going through the process to obtain the waiver because waivers are valid for 10 days only. For more information, the CCoA website is childcareaware.org.

For incoming families, please ensure you get signed up on the CYS waitlist for care through militarychildcare.com. Militarychildcare.com also requires families to update their need for care every 90 days.
