Extended Childcare

If you are a Single Parent Soldier or Dual Military Family, you may qualify for extended child care. Fort Benning Child and Youth Services has a program to offer morning child care between 4 - 5:30 a.m., Monday – Friday. Single Parent Soldiers and Dual Military Families, in which both Soldiers have jobs that regularly require them to execute mission between these hours, qualify to enter the program.

Your Battalion Commander must verify that the Soldier is mission essential between 4 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. and certify the days care is needed. The cost of this program will be covered under the full day child care rate assessed each family based on total family income. Any family not currently receiving care in one of our Fort Benning Centers must also complete the CYS registration process. Spaces are limited and are filled on a first come first served basis.
