The mission of Child and Youth Services is to enhance readiness by reducing the conflict between mission and parental responsibilities, maintain affordability of child and youth programs and availability of predictable programs and services for eligible children and youth ages 4 weeks to 18 years. A one stop office is offered for enrollment of children in any Child and Youth program on Fort Riley.
Registration is required to utilize any of our programs.
All program rates and fees are based on Department of Defense guidelines. Most program fees are based on total family gross income. A waiting list is usually only in place for those patrons who prefer only The Child Development Center care. If no care is available in any of our programs then an excess demand waiting list exists and priority is given to dual and sole military for the next available slot in any program. The CDC is a nationally accredited and Army certified program that provides quality child care to meet the needs of young children 6 weeks to preschool 5 years olds.
