Child Development Center

Navigating Navy Childcare Excellence

 

The Child Development Center (CDC) implements the "Creative Curriculum" by Teaching Strategies as well as the Gold Assessment Tool. The Creative Curriculum is CYP's roadmap in meeting the basic needs of children, fostering social/emotional development, developing secure attachments while supporting cognition and brain development in a safe and nurturing environment. The Gold assessment tool guides the caregiver on the child's areas of strength and a base point to scaffold to the next level of learning.

Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood (MCCYN) is a DoD and U.S. Coast Guard fee assistance program for eligible families who cannot access military-operated childcare due to distance or wait lists. With fee assistance, a portion of your childcare costs is paid to offset the costs of community-based care. This makes it easier for families to afford quality childcare from local community providers.
