Studies point out that abuse is less likely to occur in centers where the parents have access to their children. This policy has been established to encourage involvement in your child's program and to support your responsibility as parents to ensure care is being provided for your child. You are encouraged to spend time in your child's programs and to get to know your caregiver. Parents should make it a point to visit their child's program at different times of the day or any time the need arises. Your assistance in helping us identify poor care giving skills or actual abuse is one of the critical factors in preventing child abuse.
Placement is on an individual basis.
The CDC provides referrals to off-post facilities, teen sitters, and will call your new duty station in advance for information on day care availability. It is the parent's role to make the transition from home to school and back home as educational and meaningful as possible. You will be asked to spend time volunteering in the classroom, and to do home projects with your child. The CDS Staff believes that childhood should be a fun and happy time, so we want learning to an enjoyable experience. Children learn best when they are actively and playfully involved in activities that interest them.
