MCAS Yuma Children Youth and Teen Programs REGISTRATION PACKET Welcome to Children Youth and Teen Programs. We are very excited to welcome your family to our family. Life in the military creates some unique challenges. A large population of the staff at CYTP has the same experiences and understands the support required for family resiliency. Relationships are very important and we appreciate the trust you place in our staff and the overall program in caring for your child or children. Quality is of extreme importance to the families at Marine Corps Air Station, Yuma. In recognition of this, you will find the Child Development Center and the Child Development Center Annex is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children and the Youth Center School Age Care program is accredited by the National After School Association. CHILDREN YOUTH AND TEEN PROGRAMS OVERVIEW: The Child Development Center (CDC) and Child Development Center Annex (CDCA) offer “full day” childcare for children 6 weeks old to 5 years old. Hourly care is also available on a first come, first serve basis with reservations. The hours of operation are from 0600-1800 Monday through Friday. Closures occur only on federal holidays. The only other closures that may occur are at the discretion of the MCAS Yuma Commanding Officer typically related to unforeseen circumstances. Age groups are divided chronologically (infants, ones, twos, preschool 3-4 and Pre-K). The Youth Center offers before and after school childcare for children that are in Kindergarten to the age of 12 years. Programs for preteens and teenaged youth are also available at the Youth Center. The Youth Center has an affiliation with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. “Camps” operate during school vacations for parents that need childcare during the day. There are two choices all day 0600-1800 or 08001500. Special events are held monthly at the Youth Center and preteen/teenaged youth have the opportunity to help organize and volunteer for these events. Family Child Care offers a home style environment, with a small ratio and a family atmosphere, to children of all ages. Active Duty family members are certified to operate these homes after specific, extensive criteria has been met. Each provider obtains 40 hours of training before becoming certified, and must continue ongoing training after opening the home. Full time, hourly, overnight, and weekend care are available in most homes. Certified homes are inspected, monitored, and regulated.
